answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/07/2018 answer text <p>National planning policy continues to emphasise the role of planning in protecting and enhancing our natural environment, and helping to improve biodiversity. The National Planning Policy Framework is being revised, and during the recent consultation we received many responses regarding the importance of biodiversity and other environmental issues. We have considered all the consultation responses carefully. However, the Defra biodiversity metric is not for application at national level. Planning decisions about new housing and its location are for local planning authorities to make. They should determine each planning proposal in the light of the Local Plan and any other considerations they find material to the case, including the strong environmental policies set out in the National Planning Policy Framework.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 06/07/2018 16:16:57 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab
