On Wednesday 18 October, we held a webinar to explore the policy and practice of Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG). The webinar covered the upcoming BNG policy changes expected in January using case studies and sector specialists to share insights. We were delighted to be joined by guest speakers from DEFRA, FPCR Environment and Design Consultants, and Birketts LLP, alongside the Savills Natural Capital, Planning and Development teams.
