Biodiversity Net Gain under the Environment Act 2021: Key Issues for Consultant Ecologists

This is a legal course for consultant ecologists on the new Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) (and related) provisions under the Environment Act 2021.

The course will focus on:

• What are the BNG requirements under the 2021 Act?
• When will the BNG legal requirements come into force?
• What legal agreements are needed to underpin biodiversity units?
• What will be the role of s106s / conservation covenants?
• What is the role of the biodiversity unit register?
• What do we expect the anticipated secondary legislation to cover?
• What will this mean for developers?
• What will this mean for landowners?
• How will this fit with existing policy-driven (development-plan) BNG requirements?
• What happens now if landowners want to offer biodiversity units?
