I have no issue with a net biodiversity gain target but allowing this to be achieved outside of the planning authority area, or neighbouring area, does not present a gain. Targeting a numeric gain also ignores the unique mix of habitat that currently exists and is inevitably destroyed, replaced by something unsuitable for the area and needs of wildlife. More effort should be made to retain existing features and habitat such as tree lines and hedge rows which could be easily retained within plans and hold higher value than is attriubted by a biodiversity gain calculator.
