Local authorities plan to increase biodiversity net gain by more than 10%
With mandatory BNG in force from this month, several local authorities are adopting policies that exceed the 10% requirement
An increasing number of local authorities have been progressing planning policies that would require developers to deliver a greater level of biodiversity net gain than the 10% requirement.
Research by property consultancy Carter Jonas has found that three local planning authorities (LPAs) have adopted a biodiversity net gain (BNG) policy over 10%, while 17 (or 5.6%) have such a policy emerging through their local plan review.
This represents an increase of 33.3% compared with Carter Jonas’ Q4 data from 2022.
