TMLC notes the ambitious target of a minimum of 20% biodiversity net gain for development. TMLC is supportive of ambitious targets for biodiversity having already delivered a 46% BNG during its delivery of Trumpington Meadows and its wildlife rich 150 acre Country Park. The biodiversity-led approach at Trumpington Meadows has been recognised with the project winning the Landscape Institute’s 2021 National Award for Excellent in Biodiversity Conservation and Enhancement. This highly successful strategy can be adopted at Trumpington South, delivering further significant landscape, recreational and biodiversity enhancements to this portion of the Cambridge Green Belt.
