Biodiversity Net Gain: In principle and in practice

This webinar revisits Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) and The Environment Act 2021 (the Act).

Large numbers of local planning authorities now appear to be adopting the position intended by the Act, either in part or in full, alongside the existing BNG National Planning Policy Framework position and /or the authority’s own local policy position.

During this webinar, our speaker, Planning Legal Director Mark Iveson, looks at key issues arising from BNG and the Act, in particular:

• Where are we now in terms of BNG?
• Practical thoughts on delivery
• The DEFRA consultation
• Government and industry thoughts
