Our Approach to Implementing Biodiversity Net Gain

This document sets out our new approach to Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) that has been  developed through an extensive consultation process. It identifies the methods that we will use to classify and achieve net gain by incorporating biodiversity considerations into our project  optioneering, design, consenting and ongoing operational activities.

We have set out our methodology of calculating BNG, thereby enabling us to measure our performance against targets, and how we propose to transparently communicate this with our stakeholders.
