answer text <p>The key statutory provisions to protect wildlife habitats are set out in the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended); the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017; the Conservation of Offshore Marine Habitats and Species Regulations 2017; the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006; and the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009. These protections are also reflected in the Government’s National Planning Policy Framework, which, following public consultation, has been amended to offer further protections for ancient woodland and other irreplaceable habitat, while also strengthening requirements for biodiversity net gain.</p><p> </p><p>Defra has undertaken a review of the effectiveness of the regulations that implement the EU Nature Directives in England. The review’s findings were published in March 2012. The review did not identify a need to amend the statutory provisions but led to a number of improvements in regard to implementation.</p> more like this

answer text <p>A wide variety of species are afforded protection under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations (2017) and under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, including all species of bat found in this country. All listed species are covered irrespective of their expected lifespan, which is not a criterion in identifying the need for protection of a species.</p><p> </p><p>Legal protection for hedgerows is provided by the Hedgerows Regulations 1997. These regulations prohibit the removal of most countryside hedgerows (or parts of them) without first seeking approval from the local planning authority, which is required to decide whether a hedgerow is ‘important’ because of its wildlife, landscape, historical (i.e. more than 30 years old) or archaeological value and as such should not be removed.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government recognises that access to a network of open and green spaces is important for the health and well-being of communities, and the planning system highlights this in a number of ways. Our revised National Planning Policy Framework sets out that sufficient provision for the conservation and enhancement of green infrastructure should be included in strategic planning policies, the importance of green infrastructure in encouraging healthy lifestyles, and makes provision for communities to identify and protect green areas of particular importance to them through the designation of land as Local Green Space through local and neighbourhood plans.</p><p>The planning system acts as a control on an individual’s use of land and therefore it is right that they should have an impartial appeal against the refusal of planning permission. An independent Planning Inspector will give careful consideration to the planning merits of the case and take into account the views of the local planning authority and local residents before reaching a decision to allow or dismiss an appeal. Therefore any submissions made by community groups at the planning application stage will also be a matter for consideration at appeal.</p>
