Small sites no longer exempt from Biodiversity Net Gain regulations

From 2 April 2024, the small site exemption for biodiversity net gain requirements no longer applies.

This means small sites are now expected to provide the same level of biodiversity gain evidence as all other developments, excluding those which are still exempt, such as householder applications.  

​

From this month, local planning authorities will see a large increase in the number of applications that contain biodiversity net gain information and documents.
