question text	Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Viscount Younger of Leckie on 7 January (HL67), whether they will now answer the question put, namely, what assessment they have made of the case for ensuring that flood proofing is included in the designs for new domestic and commercial buildings.
tabling member printed	Lord Patten
uin	HL580
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2020 answer text <p>No assessment has been made as development proposals can already be required to include flood proofing measures where the site is at potential risk of flooding. National planning policy is clear that inappropriate development in areas at current or future risk of flooding should be avoided, directing development away from areas at highest risk. Where development is necessary in such areas, and where there are no suitable sites available in areas with a lower risk of flooding, it should be made safe without increasing flood risk elsewhere and be appropriately flood resilient and resistant.</p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 30/01/2020 17:40:55 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie

tabling member printed	Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle
uin	HL540
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2020 answer text <p>The 25 Year Environment Plan (25YEP) commits the Government to safeguarding and enhancing the beauty of our natural scenery and improving its environmental value, while being sensitive to considerations of its heritage. We will continue this approach to improving the natural environment, both identifying the mutually positive impacts on the natural and historic environments our policies can have, as well as identifying potential trade-offs between them. Under the Environment Bill, to be reintroduced shortly, the 25YEP will be adopted as the first statutory Environment Improvement Plan.</p><p>The Agriculture Bill, recently laid before Parliament, will enable the Government to develop our ambitious new Environmental Land Management (ELM) scheme. Our scheme is the cornerstone of our new agricultural policy. Founded on the principle of “public money for public goods”, ELM will provide a powerful vehicle for achieving the goals of the 25YEP and commitment to net zero carbon emissions by 2050, while supporting our rural economy. Through the scheme, land managers will be paid to deliver public goods set out in the 25YEP, including beauty, heritage and engagement with the environment.</p> answering member printed Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park question first answered 03/02/2020 16:36:06 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park
