Recommendation 35
35
Systemic failures in delivering promised ecological and landscape mitigations are undermining planning system integrity.
Conclusion
We are gravely concerned by reports that many ecological enhancements and landscape mitigations promised by developers are never delivered in practice. This indicates systemic failings, brings the planning system into disrepute, and questions whether the Government will be able to fulfil its ambitions to build critical infrastructure in a nature positive way. (Conclusion, Paragraph 84)
