ACAN Ecology have signed an open letter to government regarding Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) and a possible reduction in its powers due to be announced in the coming days. The letter calls for the government to retain BNG requirements for small sites across England to continue with the progress being made on habitat recovery.
An extract from the letter:
“Small sites form the backbone of our housing construction pipeline, BNG legislation ensures that these developments do not leave nature, or existing and new residents, in a worse position than prior to development. Removing BNG requirements threatens to undermine nature recovery at scale, including progress towards our legal Environment Act targets, and commitments in the Environmental Improvement Plan.”
Please read and share the full letter to join the campaign to protect BNG.
