further action to address skills shortages in ecology, planning and construction, the Government will miss its housebuilding goal. \n\nThe Bill overrides existing habitat and nature protections, which the Government has suggested to be a barrier to its target to build 1.5 million houses by the end of this Parliament as well as wider economic growth.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNews Updates\nStay ahead with our

Starmer and Chancellor Rachel Reeves have previously argued that current nature rules have gone too far, often citing the example of a £100 million bat tunnel for the construction of the HS2 railway route.The draft legislation, if passed, would instead allow developers to make general environmental improvements and pay into a nature restoration fund that improves habitats on other sites.Toby Perkins, chairman of the Environmental Audit Committee, said: “The Government’s target to build 1.5 million homes by the end of this Parliament is incredibly ambitious.\n\n“Achieving it alongside our existing targets on climate and sustainability – which are set in law – will require effort on a scale not seen before. “That certainly will not be achieved by scapegoating nature, claiming that it is a ‘blocker’ to housing delivery. “We are clear in our report: a healthy environment is essential to building resilient towns and cities. It must not be sidelined.”Mr Perkins said issues that stand in the way include skills that do not exist at the scale needed, with staff at local authorities and regulators already stretched to their limit. \n\nHe also argued that ministers should introduce better incentives for people to build and live in “carbon-friendly homes”, or to retrofit existing ones.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
