Baroness Hayman of Ullock (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 6 November 2024

Debate

Biodiversity Net Gain

Contribution

The noble Baroness is referring, I assume, to the exemptions in place for applications that have no or a very limited impact on biodiversity. That was brought in to ensure proportionality and to keep the planning system moving. However, Defra is working with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government to review planning statistics and specific applications.
