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

To ask His Majesty's Government whether their planned land use framework will consider renewable energy and other development, as well as food security and nature recovery.

The forthcoming land use framework for England will consider cross-governmental issues such as energy and food security and how we can expand nature-rich habitats such as wetlands, peat bogs and forests.

Spatial planning will play an important role in the delivery of the Government’s growth and clean energy missions, and the land use framework will work hand in hand with the Strategic Spatial Energy Plan. The Government will also explore the opportunities for spatial planning to support the delivery of other types of infrastructure.
