answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2019 answer text <p>Wild birds are protected by law and therefore any development project must consider the impact on local wildlife and take precautionary action to protect their habitats. The revised National Planning Policy Framework is clear that planning policies and decisions should contribute to and enhance the natural and local environment by minimising the impacts on and providing net gains for biodiversity. The Government has announced plans to require developers to deliver biodiversity net gain through the forthcoming Environment Bill. This will mean habitats for wildlife must be left in a measurably better state than they were before any development.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 03/04/2019 14:35:04 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
