Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 September 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

In that context, I speak to Amendment 94FA in the name of my noble friend Lady Coffey. This amendment seeks to ensure that new cables for development on agricultural land must be buried at a depth of at least two metres in order to avoid interference with any watering systems or networks required for agricultural use. This appears to be a sensible and practical amendment—one that balances infrastructure development with the operational needs of farming and food production.
