The policy's alignment with national legislation is acknowledged, and while pursuing biodiversity gains beyond statutory requirements is commendable, robust evidence is necessary to justify such increases. A positively worded policy should support the benefits of exceeding the 10% minimum BNG. However, mandating a higher BNG could conflict with other material considerations whereby sites may be unable to achieve this. It is therefore advisable not to elevate local requirements without sufficient robust justification.
