Early lessons learned from mandatory BNG in England

This informative webinar reflected on early lessons since the world-leading initiative Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) became mandatory for most planning applications under the Town and Country Planning Act in England.

The speakers explored the key drivers and principles of BNG in England, and provide practical steps for success to protect nature and deliver sustainable development.

Attendees heard first-hand from the lead author of CIRIA's free guidance, Mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain in England: a guide, produced in collaboration with CIEEM and IEMA.

Entries will be opening on 10th March for the BIG Biodiversity Challenge & Awards 2025.
