I note the intention to pursue evidence for increasing biodiversity net gain targets above the nationally mandated 10% and would encourage you to do so.

I have mixed feelings about the use of biodiversity credits, but the approach adopted here will at least tend to localise purchases, making achievement more credible. To allow Councils (and members of the public) to monitor whether credits are actually underpinned by real achievements, companies should be required to maintain records in a publicly accessible place, in an easily interpreted format.
