answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2018 answer text <p>The question [116503] was answered on 15 January 2018 with the answer:</p><p>We are standing up for England’s churches. National planning policy already sets out that businesses should not have unreasonable restrictions put on them because of changes in nearby land uses since they were established.</p><p>We are minded to amend the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) to give greater emphasis to this matter, by setting out that planning policies and decisions should take account of existing businesses and other organisations, such as churches, community pubs and music venues, when locating new development nearby.</p><p>We consulted on proposals for this as part of the Housing White Paper published on 7 February 2017 and we intend to publish a revised draft NPPF for consultation as early as possible in 2018. At that stage we will host a round-table with representatives from the sector to invite their input into this important matter.</p><p>We continue to work with other departments, to ensure local authorities support existing businesses, organisations or activities that are an integral part of local communities, at the same time as supporting new housing and local growth.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 15/01/2018 17:42:48 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 7 December 2017 to Question 117148 on forests: conservation, what criteria are used to decide whether the benefits of development outweigh the loss of ancient woodland.

uin	121776
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2018 answer text <p>The Forestry Commission and Natural England produce the standing advice for planning applications that impact on ancient woodland. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) does not specify the criteria, as the local authority is best placed to determine what the needs of their area are. The existing policies already provide a high bar, however this government remains committed to deliver the manifesto commitment to provide stronger protections for our ancient woodland. My Department are liaising with DEFRA, HMT and other stakeholders. The revised NPPF will be consulted on in the Spring.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 15/01/2018 17:46:10 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab
