In Schedule 7A to the TCPA 1990 (biodiversity gain in England)—
(a)in paragraph 5(4), after “6” insert “, 6A, 6B”;
(b)after paragraph 6 insert—
“6AIf—
(a)a person carries on activities on land on or after 25 August 2023 in accordance with a planning permission (other than the planning permission referred to in paragraph 5(1)),
(b)on the relevant date, development for which that other planning permission was granted—
(i)has not been begun, or
(ii)has been begun but has not been completed, and
(c)as a result of the activities the biodiversity value of the onsite habitat referred to in paragraph 5(1) is lower on the relevant date than it would otherwise have been,
the pre-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat is to be taken to be its biodiversity value immediately before the carrying on of the activities.
6B(1)This paragraph applies where there is insufficient evidence of the biodiversity value of an onsite habitat immediately before the carrying on of the activities referred to in paragraph 6 or 6A.
(2)The biodiversity value of the onsite habitat immediately before the carrying on of the activities referred to in paragraph 6 or 6A is to be taken to be the highest biodiversity value of the onsite habitat which is reasonably supported by any available evidence relating to the onsite habitat.”;
(c)in paragraph 10—
(i)in sub-paragraph (1), after “habitat enhancement” insert “of an offsite habitat”;
(ii)after sub-paragraph (1) insert—
“(1A)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) (and without prejudice to paragraphs 3 and 4(1)), a habitat enhancement is calculated as the amount by which the projected value of the offsite habitat as at the end of the maintenance period referred to in section 100(2)(b) of the Environment Act 2021 exceeds its pre-enhancement biodiversity value.
(1B)The pre-enhancement biodiversity value of an offsite habitat is the biodiversity value of the offsite habitat on the relevant date.
(1C)The relevant date is—
(a)the date on which the application is made to register the land subject to the habitat enhancement in the biodiversity gain site register, or
(b)such other date as may be specified in the conservation covenant or planning obligation.
(1D)But if—
(a)a person carries on activities on an offsite habitat on or after 25 August 2023 otherwise than in accordance with—
(i)planning permission, or
(ii)any other permission of a kind specified by the Secretary of State by regulations, and
(b)as a result of the activities the biodiversity value of the offsite habitat is lower on the relevant date than it would otherwise have been,
the pre-enhancement biodiversity value of the offsite habitat is to be taken to be its biodiversity value immediately before the carrying on of the activities.”;
(d)in paragraph 12(1), after the definition of “onsite habitat” insert—
““offsite habitat” means habitat which is not onsite habitat.”

Y Diweddaraf sydd Ar Gael (diwygiedig):Y fersiwn ddiweddaraf sydd ar gael o’r ddeddfwriaeth yn cynnwys newidiadau a wnaed gan ddeddfwriaeth ddilynol ac wedi eu gweithredu gan ein tîm golygyddol. Gellir gweld y newidiadau nad ydym wedi eu gweithredu i’r testun eto yn yr ardal ‘Newidiadau i Ddeddfwriaeth’.

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
