Recommendation 17

Successful nature markets require balance between scale, local accountability, and BNG benefits
Recommendation
For successful nature markets to be delivered there needs to be an effective balance between efficiencies of scale and local accountability which brings about local buy-in and transparency, ensuring that offsets are being delivered to a high standard. A method for this to be achieved is through facilitating developers to pool their BNG requirements across multiple developments, while ensuring that the benefit from nature restoration is available to local communities.
