<p>This Government is committed to the strengthened environmental protections proposed
in the revised National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), and making these clear.
The revised Framework we consulted on proposed a number of measures, including by
requiring local authorities to improve biodiversity and air quality, and delivering
our manifesto commitment to increase the protection for ancient woodland. We engaged
relevant stakeholders during the consultation, which closed on 10 May 2018, and we
are currently considering responses. The revised NPPF and the Government’s response
will be published this summer.</p><p> </p>
