Whether it has any plans to ban the extraction of peat for horticulture.

The draft National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) supports the protection of soils, including peat and carbon rich soils, which have a critical role to play in helping the country reach its net zero target by sequestering and storing carbon. In relation to commercial peat extraction, the draft NPF4 sets out that development proposals for new commercial peat extraction, including extensions to existing sites, should not be supported unless the extracted peat is supporting an industry of national importance to Scotland.
We have also pledged to ban the sale of peat related gardening products as a part of our wider effort to phase out the use of peat in horticulture and will launch a consultation on this matter in due course.
