Policy DM7: Environmental Net Gain
Natural England welcomes the inclusion of a policy on environmental net gain, which helps to deliver the ambitions in the government’s 25 Year Environment Plan. We are pleased to see a strengthening of the wording around the enhancement or creation of off-site habitats where net gain cannot be delivered solely on-site, which now states “where it is not possible to deliver net gain solely on-site, there will be a requirement to enhance or create off site habitats”.
