question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of compensating or indemnifying local authorities for any financial damages they may be asked to pay, in respect of legal challenge by residents and businesses, as a result of non-removal of Tree Preservation Orders from protected trees; and if he will make a statement.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2021 answer text <p>The Government recognises the value of trees, including their support for biodiversity, their relationship to landscape and amenity, their contribution to health and mitigating climate change and, in many cases, their rarity and role as part of our cultural heritage. The Tree Preservation Order (TPO) system is an important method of protecting trees and woodlands of amenity value.</p><p>The Town and Country Planning Regulation 2012 clearly sets out that an authority is only liable to pay compensation for damage caused by TPO trees in certain circumstances; there are strict criteria and limitations. This is also set out in our Planning Practice Guidance.</p><p>This year, the Government has made available an increase in Core Spending Power in England from £49 billion in 2020-21 to up to £51.3 billion in 2021-22, a 4.6% increase in cash terms. This recognised the resources councils need to meet their pressures and maintain current service levels.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 29/06/2021 14:07:49 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

We have set out our aim to end electricity generation from unabated coal by 2025 and we are also taking action to reduce coal use in industry and heating.</p><p>In terms of planning policy, the National Planning Policy Framework is already clear that planning permission should not be granted for the extraction of coal unless the proposal is environmentally acceptable or the national, local or community benefits outweigh its likely effects. The National Planning Policy Framework is capable of being a material consideration in the determination of all applications for coal extraction in England. Given the Secretary of State's role in the planning system, it would not be appropriate to comment on the merits or relevant considerations of current or future applications for coal extraction.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 23/06/2021 16:45:09 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
