answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2018 answer text <p>Developers of new estates may voluntarily provide open spaces for residents or be required, as a planning condition, to include public open spaces and make provision for its future upkeep. It is up to developers and local planning authorities to agree appropriate funding arrangements for those developments where public open space is a planning condition. The Government believes that it should be clear to potential purchasers what the arrangements are for the upkeep of open space - public or otherwise. The Government is committed to providing freeholders with new rights to ensure that where they do pay charges for the maintenance of communal areas and facilities on a private or mixed use estate, they can access equivalent rights as leaseholders to challenge their reasonableness. We set out our proposed approach to implementing these measures in part 4 of the recent leasehold reform consultation which closed on 26 November this year.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 12/12/2018 14:12:45 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2018 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.

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> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 06/11/2018 17:27:48 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

tabling member constituency	West Lancashire

uin	183899
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2018 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> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 02/11/2018 14:33:23 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

tabling member constituency	West Lancashire
tabling member printed	Rosie Cooper
uin	183900
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2018 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> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 01/11/2018 14:14:51 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
