Create alternative pathway to comply with the Habitats Regulations
Alternative Habitats Regulations pathway
Allow developers to comply with the Habitats Regulations requirements by paying a substantial fixed contribution to Natural England at the outset. DEFRA should create a predictable, bright line procedure and set of fees based on comparable recent projects.
This would reduce costs to developers and increase the environmental benefit, channelling money from surveys, assessments, and disputes directly towards nature preservation and recovery.
