Under the Environment Act 2021, most developments in England must deliver at least a 10% gain in biodiversity. Since 6 August 2026, sites of 0.2 hectares or less are exempt unless priority habitat is affected.
Flood risk
Environment Agency flood maps and the sequential test steer new homes away from areas at highest risk of flooding.
