Lords call for eco red tape evidence

Lords call for eco red tape evidence


Builders are stymied by all kinds of environmental requirements within the planning system – including biodiversity net gain, nutrient neutrality, habitats and air quality.

The Lords committee is studying the governance, the associated costs for developers and the impact on the delivery of projects.

The committee is seeking answers to the following questions:

  1.  What environmental regulations need to be considered when undertaking development? When during the development process are they most likely to be encountered? 
  2. What is the single biggest challenge for developers and promoters in fulfilling environmental requirements? How could this be resolved?
  3. Are changes in environmental regulations governing development clearly communicated? Is sufficient support available to help developers and promoters fulfil their responsibilities? 
  4. What are the costs of meeting environmental regulations for developers? How does this vary for types of developer or promoter and in different locations? 
  5. Is there sufficient coherence between different environmental regulations? How could regulations be administered in a more systematic and coherent way? 
  6. What impact do Government bodies such as the Environment Agency and Natural England have on planning and development decisions? How effectively do these bodies work together? How does the Environment Agency interact with development as both regulator and owner of land and other assets?
  7. What role does Natural England play in monitoring and implementing these regulations? How does Natural England’s involvement affect the delivery of new development? 
  8. To what extent are the information needs of the planning system proportionate?
  9. How far do the key actors in implementing environmental regulations have sufficient resources to carry out their responsibilities? 
  10. Are there further significant changes which would improve this system?

The committee is not seeking to evaluate the merits of individual environmental regulations, but rather how these are implemented through the planning system and the interactions between different environmental regulations.

The deadline for the submission of written evidence is 31st March 2023.

NuGen Properties built an extension to the rear of my property, replacing the old conservatory. I am so pleased I chose this company. From the initial quotation, through the build and after they were professional, polite & well mannered. They kept the site tidy throughout the build and kept me informed of each stage as it happened. The work was finished to a good standard and I have had nothing but compliments on their work. I am already planning for them to come back and do some more work for me in a few months. I would 100% recommend them.
