The Government is analysing responses to the consultation on Land Use in England. The Consultation focused on the need for a strategic spatial approach to nature restoration, emissions reduction, new homes, and infrastructure.

Responses to the consultation will inform a Land Use Framework for England. The Framework will clarify the Government’s vision for land use change over the next 25 years, including the contribution a strategic spatial approach can make to nature restoration. Work is already underway to implement this strategic spatial approach from the setup of the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority to the revised Environment Improvement Plan.
