National Land Use Framework Consultation (April 2025)
SDC Response to Land Use Framework Consultation
England has limited land with growing demands being made of it. The consultation explored the land use changes implied by commitments to restore nature, support food production, improve climate resilience and deliver new housing and infrastructure.
It sought views on the type and scale of land use changes that might be needed, as well as the actions government could take to support this. This was intended to help to foster a public discussion about how land can better support government’s plan for future change.
