Managing Impacts for Nature at Scale: What Part 3 of the Planning and Infrastructure Act Means for Housing Development
13 May 2026
Housing Action Hub
This session will unpack Part 3 of the Planning and Infrastructure Act and the role of Natural England’s Environmental Delivery Plans in shaping how ecological impacts of developments are managed going forward. It will explore how strategic, plan-led approaches could reduce reliance on project-by-project ecological surveys and what this means for certainty, timelines, and risk in construction. The presentation will also look ahead to the long-term outlook, the risks and opportunities for environmental protection.
