An open letter from industry leaders and environmental charities is published today urging the UK Government to get Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) back on track across England.

The letter (1) follows recent proposals to remove small and medium-sized developments from Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) commitments, a move The Wildlife Trusts has warned represents a weakening of the policy.

Addressed to the Prime Minister, the letter, which has been co-signed by Knight Frank, Schroders Wealth Management and Triodos Bank among others, says: “Our collective voice sends a clear message: weakening BNG would come at a high cost, setting back this fast-developing economy and more widely threatening business confidence in nature policy.”
