The government has published regulations The Biodiversity Gain (Town and Country Planning) (Amendments and Transitional Provisions) (England) Regulations 2026, that have taken effect from 6th August 2026.

For planning applications submitted on or after 6 August 2026, the rules for exemptions change and BNG hierarchy for minor developments change.

-     New exemption for developments of 0.2 hectares or below.

-     New exemption where developments are temporary, i.e. where the whole development is temporary; or planning permission is granted for 5 years or less.

-     Exemption removed for self-build and custom build applications.

-     For non-major developments, the onsite-first hierarchy preference is removed i.e. onsite habitat enhancement / creation and registered offsite biodiversity gains are given the same level of legal priority. The purchase of biodiversity credits remaining a last-resort option.

This report provides a summary of the proposed reforms to Planning Committees.

The Committee noted the summary of the proposed reforms to Planning Committees.

The government had published regulations (The Town and Country Planning (Discharge of Local Planning Authority Functions) (England) Regulations 2026) (“Regulations”), that will take effect 31st October 2026.

In summary, there will be a National Scheme of Delegation that every Council in England will have to work to. From 31st October, the call-in procedure will no longer be permitted under the new Regulations.

The government’s proposed Scheme of Delegation confirms which planning applications will always be determined by Planning Officers and not by Planning Committee. These are referred to as Schedule 1 applications. There is also a Schedule 2 set of application types that may be determined by the Planning Committee if they satisfy what is referred to as a ‘gateway test’.

          RESOLVED that the Interim Director of Planning and Economic Development write to the Broxtowe Members of Parliament to express the Council’s concerns regarding the new arrangements to the Planning Committee.

The Committee noted the Delegated Decisions.
