Issue details

The government are seeking views and opinions about land use, to minimise trade-offs and optimise the use of our land.

The consultation aims to gain a greater understanding of existing land uses with particular reference to agricultural land. The view is that “publishing a Land Use Framework, we will go further by creating a toolkit to support decision making and inform discussion on how we can guarantee our long-term food security, how we can support development and how we can achieve our targets on nature and climate that deliver multiple benefits and support economic growth.”

The consultation closes on 25 April 2025, and we therefore seek agreement in terms of the proposed responses to the consultation.
