Onjiniyela Abancane, Inzuzo Ephelele kanye Nokuhlela Ngokuhlukahluka Kwezinto Eziphilayo Engqondweni
Lesi sihloko sibheka ukuthi umthethosivivinywa omusha uzobathinta kanjani onjiniyela abancane.
Over the next two years, there will be major changes to the way the planning application process works in England. Following the Uhlaka Lwenqubomgomo Kazwelonke Yokuhlela (i-NPPF) kanye Nekhodi Kazwelonke Yokuklama Amamodeli, izinguquko ezintsha zizokwenza inani le izinto eziphilayo esizeni esibalulekile. Kukalwa kusetshenziswa imethrikhi entsha ngokuphelele - izinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo maduze zizoba yisici esinqumayo sokuthi isicelo sokuhlela siyagunyazwa noma cha. Onjiniyela badinga ukulungiselela lezi zinguquko noma babhekane nokuphazamiseka.
Lolu shintsho luchazwe ku- Umthethosivivinywa Wezemvelo (okuyimanje edlula ePhalamende futhi ehlelelwe Ukugunyazwa KwaseNdlunkulu ekupheleni konyaka). Kafushane, umthetho omusha uzodinga ukuthi abathuthukisi babonise ukuthi - kusayithi labo noma endaweni engaphandle kwendawo - bazokhuphula izinga langaphambi kokuthuthukiswa kwezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo ngo-10%. Lokhu kubalwa kusetshenziswa i-'Biodiversity Metric' entsha eyinkimbinkimbi futhi imiphumela yokugcina idinga ukubhalwa ngendlela 'Yohlelo Lwenzuzo Yezinto Eziphilayo', isethi yamaphepha amasha okufanele agunyazwe yi-Local Planning Authority ngaphambi kwemvume yokuhlela ukunikwa. Inqubomgomo ihloselwe ngokusobala ukusebenza konjiniyela abancane kanye nabakhulu.
Njengengxenye yale nqubomgomo, abathuthukisi be-SME kuzodingeka balethe 'Inzuzo Yeqiniso'. Le nqubomgomo iphakamise ukukhathazeka ngokuthi ingase ibangele isethi yezibopho eziyinselele konjiniyela abancane. Lokhu kungaba yindlela yokuqasha izazi zemvelo ukuze zenze uhla lwenhlolovo entsha noma ngendlela yokuthi onjiniyela ngokwabo kumele bazulazule 'ku-Biodiversity Metric'.
Ukugcizelela, 'Inzuzo Yenzuzo' iyinqubomgomo enhle kakhulu - isinyathelo seminyaka eyishumi lwenziwa. Akungabazeki ukuthi kuzohamba ibanga elide ekubuyiseleni imvelo yase-England imvelo kanye nokuguqula uhlelo lokuhlela lube injini yokudala izinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo. Kubalulekile futhi ukugcizelela ukuthi i-DEFRA ne-Natural England baye bahamba ibanga elimangalisayo ukuthuthukisa le nqubomgomo phakathi kwezenzakalo ezingavamile. Iqiniso lokuthi imethrikhi eyinkimbinkimbi kangaka yakhiwe phakathi ne-Brexit futhi ubhubhane luwubufakazi bokuzimisela nekhono lezikhulu.
Kodwa-ke, uHulumeni ukubonile ukuthi i-'Net Gain' ingase idale izinkinga kubathuthukisi be-SME. Izinhlangano zomphakathi manje sezizama ukuthola izindlela zokweseka lo mkhakha. Izixazululo zabo ezihlongozwayo, nokho, azibonakali ziye kude ngokwanele - lokho okubizwa ngokuthi 'izindawo ezincane' imethrikhi iyisinyathelo esiya phambili, kodwa i-Natural England ivumile ukuthi amathuluzi abo cishe asazodinga amakhono akhethekile ukuze bawasebenzise. Esinye isixazululo esihlongozwayo esokuba onjiniyela abancane bathathe ukuqeqeshwa kosuku futhi bazame futhi ukuzulazula imethrikhi ngokwabo - okuyinto engalungile uma kucatshangelwa ukuthi Iziphathimandla Zokuhlela Zasendaweni zingagunyaza kuphela imibiko ehlangabezana nezindinganiso eziphakeme kakhulu.
Umkhakha ozimele kufanele uzinikele ekusekeleni imizamo kahulumeni lapha - sidinga ukusiza onjiniyela bama-SME ukuthi bahambisane nemethrikhi. Ukwehluleka ukuthola isisombululo esinjalo kubeka engcupheni abathuthukisi abancane abazama ukuqedela imethrikhi kanye nokuzama ukubhala ama-Biodiversity Gain Plans ngokwabo. Ngamanye amazwi, uma lokhu sikwenza kabi, kungenzeka kube nokubambezeleka kwenqubo yesicelo sokuhlela; ubunzima bezomthetho njengoba abantu bebhikishela ukwenqatshwa kwezinhlelo zabo zeBiodiversity Gain Gain; kanye nemibuzo eminingi mayelana nokusebenza kwenqubomgomo ye-'Net Gain' (engaba inhlekelele endaweni yethu yemvelo).
Kunesidingo esiphuthumayo sokuqinisekisa ukuthi abathuthukisi bama-SME bayakwazi ukufinyelela amakhono nezinsiza abazidingayo ukuze bakwazi ukuhambisana nezidingo zenhlangano. Umthethosivivinywa Wezemvelo. Kudingeka sakhe uhlelo oluzovumela abathuthukisi bama-SME ukuthi babe amandla ashukumisayo ezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo 'Inzuzo Ephelele'. Uma singaqinisekisa ukuthi umkhakha wama-SME ungathobela kalula inqubomgomo 'Yenzuzo Yensalela', sizobekwa kangcono kakhulu ukwenza le nqubomgomo iphumelele. Lokho kungaba kuhle hhayi nje endaweni yase-England kodwa, uma kucatshangelwa abadlali bamazwe ngamazwe ababuka le nqubomgomo, okungase kube yigxathu elikhulu lokuphila emhlabeni wonke.
Izimbali zikaJoe uyiLungu le-UKGBC futhi imibono evezwe kulesi siqeshana se-Opinion ngeyayo. Bayi-a ukusimama umxhumanisi ogxile ezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo.
FUNDA NGEMISEBENZI YETHU ESEKELWE EMVELO
UCWANINGO NGEZINTO EZINYOLWANE
Okuthunyelwe Onjiniyela Abancane, Inzuzo Ephelele kanye Nokuhlela Ngokuhlukahluka Kwezinto Eziphilayo Engqondweni ivele kuqala UKGBC – UK Green Building Council.
