Recommendation 31
31
Early introduction of new BNG exemptions risks unintended consequences and undermines policy assessment.
Conclusion
Introducing new exemptions to BNG when the policy remains in the early stages of implementation may have unintended consequences, particularly if applied too broadly. We believe more time is needed to assess the effectiveness of BNG before substantive changes are made. (Conclusion, Paragraph 115)
