No. Warwickshire Wildlife Trust is not satisfied with the councils’ intention to ‘explore opportunities’ for higher than the bare minimum of 10% Biodiversity Net Gain.
Local evidence through planning applications shows that more than 10% BNG is achievable in Warwickshire, and the Plan states that they are aiming to link with local priorities, so a greater targetshould be delivered. A number of other Councils have already got plans through Examination with 20%.
If the Councils are serious about meeting the Governments 30 by 2030 targets in the Environment Act and Climate and Biodiversity Emergencies the plan needs to be ambitious.
