An exemption such as this, could significantly undermine BNG principles.17 Dec 2025 11:29 +0000at://did:plc:a5q6mwflhxm6ltwzrud4mpbh/app.bsky.feed.post/3ma6komm3x42yhttps://bsky.app/profile/naturalcapital.estate/post/3ma6knk42x5263/5 Intentions to introduce measures to simplify the delivery of BNG offsite, particularly for medium-sized developments could be a welcome step, depends how it's done - so long as the operation safeguards biodiversity and there in so further creep in lessening habitat. 17 Dec 2025 11:29 +0000at://did:plc:a5q6mwflhxm6ltwzrud4mpbh/app.bsky.feed.post/3ma6knk42x526https://bsky.app/profile/naturalcapital.estate/post/3ma6km2kwhl2r2/5 The 0.2ha size, smaller than the previously rumoured 0.5ha will ease the burden for small builders and off-site providers alike over fiddling with very small divisions of units, though resulting in an overall loss in biodiversity, it is a smaller loss than that feared.17 Dec 2025 11:28 +0000at://did:plc:a5q6mwflhxm6ltwzrud4mpbh/app.bsky.feed.post/3ma6km2kwhl2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/naturalcapital.estate/post/3ma6khtimme2y1/5 In response to the consultation earlier this year, Mattew Pennycook’s statement yesterday was not wholly unexpected or unwelcome. Changes to Biodiversity Net gain rules will now exclude developments under 0.2ha of land, in a drive to make it easier to build homes on smaller sites.17 Dec 2025 11:25 +0000at://did:plc:a5q6mwflhxm6ltwzrud4mpbh/app.bsky.feed.post/3ma6khtimme2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/naturalcapital.estate/post/3m3nc52kfglkqAlways heartening to see farmers pressing on with BNG despite the obstacles and years of negotiation 🍀🥀20 Oct 2025 17:00 +0000at://did:plc:a5q6mwflhxm6ltwzrud4mpbh/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3nc52kfglkqhttps://bsky.app/profile/naturalcapital.estate/post/3ly3ps6ivak2zMajor BNG site now Registered in the County Durham LPA / North Pennines NCA https://naturalcapital.estate/news/2025-09-0405 Sep 2025 13:01 +0000at://did:plc:a5q6mwflhxm6ltwzrud4mpbh/app.bsky.feed.post/3ly3ps6ivak2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/naturalcapital.estate/post/3lsvkz6b4fk22I suggest anyone concerned with the state of our biodiversity, go and complete this Defra consultation by 11:59pm on 24 July 2025 🌱 https://action.wildlifetrusts.org/page/173184/action/101 Jul 2025 11:14 +0000at://did:plc:a5q6mwflhxm6ltwzrud4mpbh/app.bsky.feed.post/3lsvkz6b4fk22https://bsky.app/profile/naturalcapital.estate/post/3lrvmvmpm2s2d3/3 all whilst failing in its 30 by 30 commitments https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/criteria-for-30by30-on-land-in-england/30by30-on-land-in-england-confirmed-criteria-and-next-steps 🤪18 Jun 2025 18:22 +0000at://did:plc:a5q6mwflhxm6ltwzrud4mpbh/app.bsky.feed.post/3lrvmvmpm2s2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/naturalcapital.estate/post/3lrvmv6puw22d2/3 to the detriment of England's biodiversity - the Govt is correspondingly looking to expand the role of the private sector in nature recovery https://www.gov.uk/government/calls-for-evidence/expanding-the-role-of-the-private-sector-in-nature-recovery?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=govuk-notifications-topic&utm_source=27a835b0-345f-4cb3-9add-9a5488a843ca&utm_content=immediately18 Jun 2025 18:22 +0000at://did:plc:a5q6mwflhxm6ltwzrud4mpbh/app.bsky.feed.post/3lrvmv6puw22dhttps://bsky.app/profile/naturalcapital.estate/post/3lrvmudtknc2d1/3 I do find it a bit bizarre that whilst looking to rein-in the relatively new (and still misunderstood by LPAs) BNG mechanism https://consult.defra.gov.uk/defra-biodiversity-net-gain/improving-the-implementation-of-biodiversity-net-g/18 Jun 2025 18:22 +0000at://did:plc:a5q6mwflhxm6ltwzrud4mpbh/app.bsky.feed.post/3lrvmudtknc2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/naturalcapital.estate/post/3lqaldf6cic2aCan you believe this!?
