Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill

My Lords, that is perfectly true, but the two are part of the same equation. I agree that I was talking about land that would get development. But equally it is the same principle. If this change is made, the occupant would in effect get the development value, rather than the landowner who gave up the land knowing that, for the benefit of their community, they would not get the development value. The principle is precisely parallel. It is a very dangerous move, in my view.
