34
Assess local authority capacity for monitoring BNG commitments and ensure adequate resourcing.
Recommendation
The Government should conduct an assessment of the capacity and performance of monitoring of BNG commitments by local authorities. Local authorities must understand their responsibilities to ensure that BNG promised is delivered and buy in expertise and resource if it is not currently employed. LPAs should be held to account for adequate monitoring of BNG and resourced to deliver it. (Recommendation, Paragraph 118) 91
