	uin	HL13669
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/03/2021 answer text <p>Nuclear new-build facilities are subject to a number of consenting regimes. Firstly, the nationally significant infrastructure project (NSIP) regime under the 2008 Planning Act which considers the initial grant of consent; and secondly the nuclear safety regime under the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) which controls nuclear safety aspects on an ongoing basis throughout the facility’s lifetime.</p><p> </p><p>Proposals for nuclear new-build are NSIPs and are decided by the relevant Secretary of State. Proposals are judged against the relevant national policy statement(s) (NPS). The relevant NPSs make reference to the importance of facilities being resilient and adaptable to climate change. They aim to ensure new facilities are located, constructed, operated and decommissioned with the long-term impacts of climate change in mind.</p><p> </p><p>The Environment Agency provides advice and guidance on this process including on how climate change should be accounted for in relevant flood risk assessments. This was last updated in July 2020 to reflect the latest sea level rise projects (UKCP18). Our advice recommends that flood risk is considered across a range of different climate scenarios, including credible but extreme scenarios (i.e. High++ emissions scenario).</p><p> </p><p>The Environment Agency works closely with the ONR to manage the interaction between the NSIP regime and the nuclear safety regulatory regime. The Environment Agency has produced a number of joint guidance notes with the ONR, to outline their collective approach to flood risk and climate change. These are attached to this answer and can also be found here:</p><p> </p><ul><li>Use of UK Climate Projections 2018 - <a href="http://www.onr.org.uk/documents/2020/ukcp18-position-statement-rev-1.pdf" target="_blank">Use of UK Climate Projections 2018 (UKCP18) - Revision 1, November 2020 (onr.org.uk)</a>; and</li><li>Principles for Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management - <a href="http://www.onr.org.uk/documents/2017/principles-for-flood-and-coastal-erosion-risk-management.pdf" target="_blank">Principles for Flood and Coastal Erosion (onr.org.uk)</a></li></ul><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The National Coastal Erosion Map (NCERM) shows erosion projections to 2110 and informs coastal management through Shoreline Management Plans (SMP).

The NPPF also outlines that any development resulting in the loss or deterioration of such irreplaceable habitats should be refused, unless there are wholly exceptional reasons and only if a suitable compensation strategy exists. In 2021, the Government committed to reviewing the NPPF with respect to ancient woodlands, consulting on strengthening the wording in the NPPF and introducing a new duty on planning authorities to consult the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities before granting permission for development affecting ancient woodlands.</p> answering member printed Lord Benyon attachment 1 file name Forestry-Commission-Key-Performance-Indicators-Report-2021-22-.pdf title Forestry Commission Key Performance Indicator 2 file name preliminary_estimatesofthechangesincanopycoverinbritishwoodlandsbetween2006and2015.pdf title Preliminary Estimates question first answered 07/02/2023 17:21:32 answering member 1547 label Biography information for Lord Benyon

Current policy reflects our experience of responding to past outbreaks of exotic animal disease and is in line with international standards of best practice for disease control. In summary swift and humane culling of poultry and other captive birds on infected premises, coupled with rigorous biosecurity, are used to prevent the amplification of avian influenza and minimise the risk of disease spread from infected premises</p><p><br> In addition, to help stop the spread of avian influenza, Avian Influenza Prevention Zones (AIPZs) are in force across the UK. Mandatory housing measures are also in force as an additional requirement of the AIPZs in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. For areas where an AIPZ is in force it is a legal requirement for all bird keepers (whether they have pet birds, commercial flocks or just a few birds in a backyard flock) to follow strict biosecurity measures to limit the spread of and eradicate the disease, including where mandatory housing measures are a requirement of an AIPZ in force, to keep their birds housed. The enhanced AIPZ biosecurity measures, mandatory housing measures, in addition to a prohibition on poultry gatherings, have been vital in preventing spread and protecting flocks across the country from avian influenza.</p> answering member printed Lord Benyon attachment 1 file name mitigation-strategy-avian-influenza-wild-birds-england-wales.pdf title Mitigation Strategy for Avian Influenza 2 file name avian-disease-control-strategy.pdf title Avian Disease Control Strategy question first answered 13/03/2023 11:38:46 answering member 1547 label Biography information for Lord Benyon

The letter also highlights that national measures could be introduced in the event that the appropriate level of protection is not forthcoming through the EU review.
