Biodiversity net gain: 10 key points from Defra consultation

摘要

Defra has published a consultation seeking views on how the new mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) regime could work in practice.The BNG policy obliges developers to deliver at least 10% greater biodiversity associated with their sites. It is expected to lead to opportunities for farmers and landowners who can create or enhance habitat to the required standards on their land, by selling the resulting biodiversity units to developers.
