The councils’ intention to ‘explore opportunities’ for higher than 10% Biodiversity Net Gain (the absolute bare minimum) is somewhat pathetic. Explore is a cop out word for do nothing.

Local planning evidence derived through planning applications shows that more than 10% BNG is achievable in Warwickshire (Warks wildlife Trust), and the Plan states that they are aiming to link with local priorities, so a greater target should be delivered. A number of other Councils such as Cornwall Council have already got plans through Examination with 20% net gain.
