Biodiversity Net Gain
What is Biodiversity Net Gain?
The Environment Act 2021 (legislation.gov.uk) lays out how Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) can contribute to the recovery of nature whilst still allowing land to developed. The purpose of BNG is to ensure that more habitats are available, and that they are in a better condition, than before development occurred. All relevant planning applications will be required to demonstrate how they achieve 10% Biodiversity Gain as part of the development. This will involve the submission of a Biodiversity Gain Plan, Statutory Biodiversity Metric and Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan for approval by the Local Planning Authority.

Conservation area appraisals
Regular reviews of conservation areas are known as Conservation Area Appraisals. The public is consulted, to ensure that the appraisals reflect community aspirations and not simply those of the planning authority. Once published conservation area appraisals provide the local planning authority with the basis for policies which are designed to preserve or enhance all of the aspects of character and appearance that define an area's special interest.
