We strongly support the policy proposals for a minimum 20% biodiversity net gain. The statutory level at the moment is only a minimum 10%, however in the Greater Cambridgeshire area particulary, the biodiversity crisis is severe & one of the most affected areas in the country, largely due to pressure on land for development. Achieving a higher minimum 20% net gain is therefore appropriate to reverse the biodiversity loss.
