The Environment Bill is a damp squib and very vague in terms of provisions.

The information given is incorrect, in that the Environment Bill received royal consent November 2021 and not as stated 2023.

Biodiversity Net Gain
Section 11 of the SPD deals with Biodiversity Net Gain. The section refers to the Environment Bill. The Environment Act received Royal Assent on the 9th November 2021. A number of its provisions will be the subject of secondary legislation, including the provisions for biodiversity net gain. This section of the SPD needs to be updated to reflect the updated position following publication of the Environment Act. In making amendments to this section the Council should also review the wording of paragraph 11.6 as the current wording is not clear.

The area of Biodiversity Net Gain appears to have moved on since the section was first drafted.
BNG is still in an interim stage, pending further regulations from Central Government, but since HDC wrote this, the Environment Act has had Royal Assent, so references to BNG need updating to reflect this.

The 10% Biodiversity Net Gain requirement in the Environment Act has not yet been commenced. As such there is no requirement in policy or law for site to deliver a 10% Biodiversity Net Gain.
