Biodiversity Net Gain - Understanding the Basics for Property Advisers

Introduction

Since 12 February 2024, developments requiring planning permission in England have (broadly) been subject to the mandatory Government requirement that the wildlife habitat on site will be left at least 10% better off (with more, or better quality, biodiversity) following the development.

With a combination of legal detail and practice tips, the viewer will understand how to help clients prepare effectively for BNG compliance.
