Yes. In looking at whether BNG in excess of 10% is desirable the plan should draw on the experience of other local authorities where a higher rate has been approved. Measuring BNG is a process involving both evidence and judgement, and the authorities need to be confident that they have the resources and expertise to review and interrogate BNG plans put forward by developers. There is otherwise a danger that this becomes another box-ticking exercise rather than a genuine commitment to enhance biodiversity. SDC and WDC should start now to develop a scheme of offsite biodiversity units within their areas.
