Again, not much wrong with what is written BUT....

10% Net Biodiversity Net Gain is not ambitious enough. It is far too easy for developers to downplay the existing state of a location ("just brash and scrub"), and then do very little but then claim there is a gain.

This is Deborah Meaden talking with Mark Allan, Chief Executive of LandSec. He gives examples of Biodiversity net gain in the order of 200% to 300%! We should have a stretch target of 25% for any development. And EVERY site should provide Biodiversity net gain.
