Realising Its Potential: The Opportunities of Biodiversity Net Gain
The eagerly awaited legislation was introduced earlier this year, mandating a 10% biodiversity gain on new developments, as well as a 30-year management plan. Is it proving to be as successful as hoped? Where are the biggest opportunities for those working in the public spaces sector? What do designers and contractors need to consider when choosing solutions for each site, and how can suppliers assist to ensure success? Our panel discuss the ongoing impact of Biodiversity Net Gain.
