The Minister acknowledged the Member's extensive points on littering, fly-tipping, illegal waste disposal, coastal erosion, and sustainable housing developments. She highlighted the government's landmark Environment Bill aiming to deliver cleaner air, habitat restoration, increased biodiversity, a resource-efficient economy, and better management of resources in a changing climate. She detailed existing and proposed measures including penalty notice powers for councils on fly-tipping, increased fines for littering, support for local clean-up days, the extended producer responsibility scheme focusing initially on plastic packaging, and consultations on deposit return schemes. The Minister also addressed concerns about waste recycling centre charges and ongoing investigations into harmful waste disposal practices. Regarding coastal erosion, she noted plans to double investment in flooding and coastal erosion funding to £5.2 billion by 2027, aiming to protect an additional 336,000 properties. She emphasized the importance of natural processes in enhancing the environment locally and elsewhere, with a focus on resilience and adaptation. The Minister further discussed plans for mandatory biodiversity net gain for all development projects, requiring developers to enhance local nature by at least 10%. This approach aims to balance housing needs with environmental protection.
