It surprises me that a legal enforceability that lasts for the entire liability period—whether it be 30 years for biodiversity net gain or 80 years for nutrient neutrality—is enforced not just for the operators but for their heirs and successors. We need certainty that these things will be delivered. The builder who has bought the EDP wants to have that comfort; the home owner needs that comfort; the residents and those who are campaigning for EDPs demand that comfort—but none of that is in the Bill and it should be.
