Biodiversity Net Gain now mandatory
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) regulations have been brought into effect. BNG is an approach to development that makes sure that habitats for wildlife are left in a measurably better state than they were before the development. London Forum’s members could see how their local Council will apply the rules.
Details are in the publications of the Government and of Natural England.
