I turn to the amendment. I want to be clear: I know that some developers are going beyond their obligations and putting biodiversity front and centre. For example, Barratt Redrow is working with groups such as the RSPB and the Tree and Design Action Group to make sure that trees and nature are supported in developments and ensuring planting success, to form opinion but also to share their experiences—and I know that others are doing it too. This amendment would ensure that that best practice and support and advice is offered across the board. Not all developers will be big and have the expertise at hand, nor the experience of what worked before and what did not—for example, on appropriate species or issues around tree roots.
