PART 1E+WOverview and interpretation

OverviewE+W

1(1)This Schedule makes provision for grants of planning permission in England to be subject to a condition to secure that the biodiversity gain objective is met.

(2)Paragraphs 2 to 12 have effect for the purposes of this Schedule.

Biodiversity gain objectiveE+W

2(1)The biodiversity gain objective is met in relation to development for which planning permission is granted if the biodiversity value attributable to the development exceeds the pre-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat by at least the relevant percentage.

(2)The biodiversity value attributable to the development is the total of—

(a)the post-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat,

(b)the biodiversity value, in relation to the development, of any registered offsite biodiversity gain allocated to the development, and

(c)the biodiversity value of any biodiversity credits purchased for the development.

(3)The relevant percentage is 10%.

(4)The Secretary of State may by regulations amend this paragraph so as to change the relevant percentage.

Biodiversity value and the biodiversity metricE+W

3References to the biodiversity value of any habitat or habitat enhancement are to its value as calculated in accordance with the biodiversity metric.

4(1)The biodiversity metric is a document for measuring, for the purposes of this Schedule, the biodiversity value or relative biodiversity value of habitat or habitat enhancement.

(2)The biodiversity metric is to be produced and published by the Secretary of State.

(3)The Secretary of State may from time to time revise and republish the biodiversity metric.

(4)Before publishing or republishing the biodiversity metric the Secretary of State must consult such persons as the Secretary of State considers appropriate.

(5)The Secretary of State may by regulations make transitional provision in relation to the revision and republication of the biodiversity metric.

(6)The Secretary of State must lay the biodiversity metric, and any revised biodiversity metric, before Parliament.

Pre-development biodiversity valueE+W

5(1)In relation to any development for which planning permission is granted, the pre-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat is the biodiversity value of the onsite habitat on the relevant date.

(2)The relevant date is—

(a)in a case in which planning permission is granted on application, the date of the application, and

(b)in any other case, the date on which the planning permission is granted.

(3)But the person submitting the biodiversity gain plan for approval and the planning authority may agree that the relevant date is to be a date earlier than that specified in sub-paragraph (2)(a) or (b) (but not a date which is before the day on which this Schedule comes into force in relation to the development).

(4)This paragraph is subject to paragraphs 6 and 7.

6If—

(a)a person carries on activities on land on or after 30 January 2020 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 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.

7Where planning permission is granted in respect of land which is registered in the biodiversity gain site register under section 100 of the Environment Act 2021, the pre-development biodiversity value of the land is the total of—

(a)the biodiversity value of the onsite habitat on the relevant date, and

(b)to the extent that it is not included within that value, the biodiversity value of the habitat enhancement which is, on that date, recorded in the register as habitat enhancement to be achieved on the land.

Post-development biodiversity valueE+W

8(1)In relation to any development for which planning permission is granted, the post-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat is the projected value of the onsite habitat as at the time the development is completed.

(2)That value is to be calculated by taking the pre-development biodiversity value and—

(a)if at the time the development is completed the development will, taken as a whole, have increased the biodiversity value of the onsite habitat, adding the amount of that increase, or

(b)if at the time the development is completed the development will, taken as a whole, have decreased the biodiversity value of the onsite habitat, subtracting the amount of that decrease.

This is subject to paragraph 9.

9(1)This paragraph applies in relation to any development for which planning permission is granted where—

(a)the person submitting the biodiversity gain plan for approval proposes to carry out works in the course of the development that increase the biodiversity value of the onsite habitat, and

(b)the planning authority considers that the increase is significant in relation to the pre-development biodiversity value.

(2)The increase in biodiversity value referred to in sub-paragraph (1) is to be taken into account in calculating the post-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat only if the planning authority is satisfied that the condition in sub-paragraph (3) is met.

(3)The condition is that any habitat enhancement resulting from the works referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(a) will, by virtue of—

(a)a condition subject to which the planning permission is granted,

(b)a planning obligation, or

(c)a conservation covenant,

be maintained for at least 30 years after the development is completed.

(4)The Secretary of State may by regulations amend sub-paragraph (3) so as to substitute for the period for the time being specified there a different period of at least 30 years.

Registered offsite biodiversity gainsE+W

10(1)Registered offsite biodiversity gain” means any habitat enhancement, where—

(a)the enhancement is required to be carried out under a conservation covenant or planning obligation, and

(b)the enhancement is recorded in the biodiversity gain site register (as to which, see section 100 of the Environment Act 2021).

(2)References to the allocation of registered offsite biodiversity gain are to its allocation in accordance with the terms of the conservation covenant or planning obligation referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(a).

(3)The biodiversity value of registered offsite biodiversity gain is measured, under the biodiversity metric, in relation to development to which it is allocated.

Biodiversity creditsE+W

11Biodiversity credits” means credits under section 101 of the Environment Act 2021.

GeneralE+W

12(1)In relation to development for which planning permission is granted—

  • onsite habitat” means habitat on the land to which the planning permission relates;

  • planning authority” means the local planning authority, except that—

    (a)

    in a case where the planning permission is granted by Mayoral development order under section 61DB, “planning authority” means such of the Mayor of London or the local planning authority as may be specified in the order;

    (b)

(2)In the case of land owned or occupied by or on behalf of the Crown, or leased to, or to a person acting on behalf of, the Crown, or land with respect to which it is proved that there is held, or intended to be acquired, by or on behalf of the Crown an interest in the land which will be affected as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) or that any of the cost there mentioned has been borne by the Crown, a compliance determination application may be made by any person acting on behalf of the Crown.

3E+WA compliance determination application shall be accompanied by such plans and other information as are necessary to enable the application to be determined.

4(1)The authority to whom a compliance determination application is made shall within 14 days from the receipt of the application publish notice of it in one or more local newspapers circulating in the area in which the land is situated and serve notice of it on any person appearing to the authority to be specially affected by the application.E+W

(2)The authority shall take into consideration any representations made to them in connection with the application within 14 days from the publication of the notice.

5(1)Where a compliance determination application is made to an authority the authority shall determine whether the works or use in question fail to comply with any planning control which the authority are responsible for enforcing and, if so, shall specify the control in question.E+W

(2)Where the authority determine that works or a use fail so to comply they shall further determine whether having regard to all relevant circumstances the works or use shall, notwithstanding the failure, be deemed so to comply, either unconditionally or subject to such conditions as to the time for which the works or use may be continued, the carrying out of alterations, or other matters, as the authority think expedient.

Appeals against compliance determinations or failure to make such determinationsE+W

6(1)Where the applicant is aggrieved by a compliance determination, or where a person by whom representations have been made as mentioned in paragraph 4 is aggrieved by such a determination, he may appeal to the Secretary of State.E+W

(2)The applicant may also appeal if he is aggrieved by the failure of the authority to determine the application within two months from the last day on which representations under paragraph 4 may be made and has served notice on the authority that he appeals to the Secretary of State.

(3)An appeal under this paragraph must be made within the period of 28 days after the applicant has notice of the determination or, in the case of an appeal under sub-paragraph (2), after the applicant has served notice on the authority of the appeal, or within such extended period as the Secretary of State may allow.

7(1)On such an appeal the Secretary of State may give, in substitution for the determination, if any, given by the authority, such determination as appears to him to be proper having regard to all relevant circumstances, or, if he is satisfied that the applicant was not a person entitled to make the application, may decide that the application is not to be entertained.E+W

(2)At any stage of the proceedings on such an appeal to him the Secretary of State may, and shall if so directed by the High Court, state in the form of a special case for the opinion of the High Court any question of law arising in connection with the appeal.

8E+WSubject to paragraph 9 and to any determination or decision of the Secretary of State on an appeal under paragraph 7, any compliance determination shall be final and any such failure to give a determination as mentioned in paragraph 6(2) shall be taken on the service of the notice there mentioned as a final refusal by the authority to entertain the application, and any determination or decision of the Secretary of State on an appeal under paragraph 7 shall be final.

Fresh applications where alteration in circumstancesE+W

References of application to Secretary of StateE+W

10(1)If it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient, having regard to considerations affecting the public interest (whether generally or in the locality concerned), that any compliance determination application to an authority or any class or description of such applications, should instead of being determined by the authority be referred to him for decision, he may give directions to the authority requiring that application, or applications of that class or description, to be so referred.E+W
