and the UK Green Building Council said any delay would &#8216;hurt green business and development&#8217;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Lords Built Environment Committee is calling for housebuilding to be given statutory weight which ensures it has equal status to environmental goals.<\/p>\n<p>The new laws state developments must result in a 10 per cent biodiversity net gain (BNG) and will be a mandatory aspect of the planning system in England if they are brought forward.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/27\/17\/75902057-0-image-a-2_1695832716364.jpg\" height=\"480\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Lords Built Environment Committee is calling for housebuilding to be given statutory weight which ensures it has equal status to environmental goals (stock image)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the committee said the Government is &#8216;failing to deliver for either side&#8217; in its approach to competing demands for new homes and environmental protection.<\/p>\n<p>The cross-party group was urging the Government to ensure local authorities do not make such requirements ahead of the statutory deadline.<\/p>\n<p>In its report, it says advice on nutrient neutrality rules, which the upper chamber recently voted to save despite a Government bid to relax them, can have &#8216;crippling&#8217; effects for smaller developers.<\/p>\n<p>The committee said it would not comment on the &#8216;validity&#8217; of Government policies on development or habitat protection and instead focus on whether they are achievable and how they affect one another.<\/p>\n<p>But it found that their success had been &#8216;hampered and sometimes completely blocked by lack of co-ordination in policy-making and haphazard and unbalanced implementation&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>It recommended the Government provides &#8216;clear advice&#8217; as to what assumptions can be made by local planning authorities and developers about the requirements following the passage of the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill.<\/p>\n<p>Lord Moylan, committee chairman, said: &#8216;The current approach to managing any conflict between new homes and the needs of the environment is failing to deliver for either side.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12567495\/Government-delay-eco-planning-laws-England.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Government is &#8216;set to delay new eco-laws forcing developers to improve countryside and wildlife habitats&#8217;
