Communities and Local Government, what steps he is taking with Cabinet colleagues to ensure new energy efficient housing targets do not negatively impact (a) green spaces and (b) the environment.

Reply

The Future Homes Standard consultation was published in December 2023 and closed in March 2024. It set out proposals for improving the energy efficiency standards for new homes. The proposed standards should not materially affect the footprint or density of new homes so no negative impact on green spaces would therefore be expected. The proposals will also lead to a reduction in carbon emissions when compared to current standards for new homes, resulting in a positive environmental impact. We are reviewing proposals and feedback from the consultation and will publish the Government response in due course.

What steps he is taking to increase the number of homes powered by green energy in West Dorset constituency.

Reply

As part of our clean power mission, we will work with the private sector to radically increase the deployment of onshore wind, solar and offshore wind by 2030. We will invest in carbon capture and storage, hydrogen and marine energy, and ensure we have the long-term energy storage required. This will significantly increase the number of homes powered by clean energy across the country, including in West Dorset. Steps we have taken include the immediate removal of the de facto ban on onshore wind in England, establishing an Onshore Wind Industry Taskforce, the re-establishment of the Solar Taskforce, and securing 131 new projects through the AR6 auction.

Asked

Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of rewilding to increase biodiversity in (a) coastal and (b) rural constituencies.

Reply

The Government is supporting a number of initiatives to create wilder landscapes across England, as part of a broad approach to nature recovery. The Government will publish a Land Use Framework for England later this year, taking a collaborative approach. The Framework will explore different approaches to delivery to ensure that we strike the right balance between a range of objectives on food security, economic growth, housing and infrastructure delivery.
