	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/05/2019 answer text <p>Expanding polyurethane foam is used for a wide variety of purposes. The application of the guidance in paragraphs 12.6 and/or 12.7 of the approved document to the use of expanding polyurethane foam would need to be considered on a case by case basis. These products are commonly used as a joint sealant and as such would not be covered by paragraphs 12.6 or 12.7, but there may be other circumstances, such as being used as a void filler between two layers of construction in an external wall, where paragraph 12.7 would apply. The guidance in approved documents should be considered in full and in the context to the requirements of the regulations themselves.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 03/05/2019 10:29:25 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse previous answer version 116399 answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what plans his Department has to encourage more environmentally conscious house-building that takes into account established trees and local bird populations.
	tabling member constituency	Newcastle-under-Lyme
	tabling member printed	Paul Farrelly
	uin	248601
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/05/2019 answer text <p>Our revised National Planning Policy Framework, published in July 2018, asks local authorities to support development whose primary objective is to conserve or enhance biodiversity. Opportunities to incorporate biodiversity improvements in and around developments should also be encouraged, especially where this can secure measurable net gains for biodiversity. These gains could include the safeguarding of established trees or bird populations, access to new green space, and provision of green infrastructure such as swift bricks or hedgehog highways. The government will use the forthcoming Environment Bill to mandate biodiversity net gain for development in England ensuring that the delivery of much-needed infrastructure and housing is not at the expense of vital biodiversity.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 03/05/2019 10:27:26 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse previous answer version 116396 answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
