Asked

Food and Rural Affairs, whether he plans to review the biodiversity net gain requirements on housing construction sites being developed by (a) SME builders and (b) other builders.

Reply

As is the case with any new policy, we are collecting information and evidence about the implementation of mandatory biodiversity net gain, including for small sites. The Government is committed to working closely with the sector to make Biodiversity Net Gain work effectively and implement solutions to unlock new homes without weakening environmental protections.
