67
Publish paper detailing Natural England's required resourcing to deliver housing targets by March 2026
Recommendation
The Government should publish a paper, by March 2026, clearly laying out the Government’s housing targets, NE’s role as a statutory consultee and in developing and implementing the NRF, and what resourcing will be required for NE going forwards to deliver this. This paper should include details as to how NE will operate in light of staffing cuts and the additional responsibilities that it will be given when the current Planning and Infrastructure Bill is enacted.
