Government is right to review environmental policies, says National Federation of Builders. The Government has appointed Dan Corry to lead a review of DEFRA’s regulations and regulators and see where there is room for improvement.
Richard Beresford, Chief Executive of the NFB, comments: “This review is long overdue. The previous government took a very siloed view of environmental regulation and despite regular engagement, including with committees, the views of the construction sector were broadly ignored. This has not only created a more challenging landscape for development but has also led to worse environmental outcomes.”
