Written Answers
Planning Permission: Biodiversity
Asked by: Chris Hinchliff (Labour - North East Hertfordshire)
Tuesday 8th September 2026

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, with reference to her Department's joint guidance entitled Biodiversity net gain, updated on 31 July 2026, what assessment she has made of the potent impact of changes to evidential requirements for claiming the de minimis exemption on the number and type of applications that will be eligible for the exemption.

Answered by Jenny Riddell-Carpenter - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

As set out previously in Government consultation responses, any changes to the de minimis exemption for biodiversity net gain will be considered in the round and alongside other BNG reforms. The new 0.2-hectare exemption which came into force on 6 August 2026 is expected to significantly reduce the number of developments claiming the de minimis exemption. Planning Portal data for August 2026 shows that use of the de minimis exemption more than halved, from 81% in July 2026 to 37% in August 2026 following the introduction of the 0.2-hectare exemption. The Government expect similar trends going forward. Prior to 6 August, roughly 80% of planning applications have been exempt from BNG, with around 80% of those exempt claiming the de minimis exemption

Select Committee Inquiry
8 Sep 2026
Climate adaptation
Environmental Audit Committee (Select)

Submit Evidence (by 21 Oct 2026)


In its latest advice to the government, the CCC said that climate change is already disrupting life in the UK and said that the UK’s national approach to climate adaption is “not fit for purpose”. It has also argued that the government’s third National Adaptation Plan (NAP3) is not adequately preparing the UK for climate change.  

Through its inquiry, the Committee will consider whether the government’s current approach to adaptation goes far enough and what changes are needed to improve the UK’s resilience. The new inquiry comes shortly after the UK experienced its hottest summer since records began in 1884, with nearly three-quarters of England and Wales in drought, 23,000 hectares destroyed in major wildfires and the year’s harvest expected to be the worst on record. 

Action has historically focused on reducing emissions, but scientists now agree that the climate will change significantly even if global targets are reached. By 2050, the Climate Change Committee (CCC) believes heatwaves will cause 92% of existing homes to overheat, peak river flows to be higher, longer lasting and increasing the risk of flooding and drier weather leading to water supply running five billion litres short a day. 

The Committee invites written evidence on a range of topics including:  

  • The most significant climate risks facing the UK and whether the government’s approach to adaptation is fit for purpose  
  • Whether the UK’s key infrastructure, including water, transport, communications and health are adequately prepared for extreme weather  
  • What support farmers need to adapt to climate change and the role of nature-based solutions  
  • How it should measure progress on adaptation  
  • Whether DEFRA and the Environment Agency are equipped to coordinate adaptation across government and whether enough funding is being invested in adaptation across government
