Emma Reynolds (Labour)
Unlock development and accelerate growth by streamlining spatial planning and aligning local and national priorities. This will reduce uncertainty in planning decisions and clarify local contributions to national targets, helping to lower costs of development and mobilise investment in nature-based solutions that protect homes, businesses and infrastructure from the impacts of climate change. We will release the data and digital tools required to locate housing and infrastructure in the most appropriate places so that we can accelerate the building of new homes and clean energy infrastructure, while also safeguarding food production and restoring nature.
Protect the environment and adapt to climate change by taking a more strategic approach that ensures there is enough land available to meet our targets in the environmental improvement plan and carbon budget growth and delivery plan. We will design farming policy to support climate mitigation and resilience and transition some financial incentives to focus on where they will make the greatest impact.
