Since BNG went live in Feb 2024 we've been collecting examples of how councils are interpretting and implementing Biodiversity Net Gain. At this early stage, most of the examples are about setting out clear guidance to applicants. These examples are not exhaustive - they are from work that has come to our attention while working with and supporting Local Planning Authorities.
Good Practice examples from Local Planning Authorities:
General BNG Guidance:
- Buckinghamshire Council
- Cornwall Council
- Greater Manchester Combined Authority
- Staffordshire Borough Council
- North Yorkshire
