Moving to a minimum of 20% biodiversity net gain is a step change. It is likely that in many cases off site contributions will need to be considered to deliver schemes at appropriate densities in the urban area. A system should be put in place for off-setting similar to that in place for the District Licencing for Protected Species. Such a scheme should be straightforward to use and make the best use of strategic resources.
