Recommendation 28
28
Clarify responsibilities for oversight, enforcement, and standardised monitoring of off-site Biodiversity Net Gain projects.
Recommendation
More clarity is needed on how off-site Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) projects will be maintained, monitored, and enforced over the full 30-year period. We ask the Government, in response to this report, to lay out clearly who is responsible for oversight and enforcement of BNG throughout its lifespan, and how monitoring and enforcement is standardised across Local Planning Authorities to ensure consistent delivery.
