Why our consultancy services are needed
Local Planning Authorities have a statutory duty to have regard for material planning considerations when delivering their functions, which includes having regard for the conservation and enhancement for the improvement of biodiversity.
The duty on Local Planning Authorities includes considering how a development might impact ‘protected’ and ‘priority’ species and habitats, as well as designated sites, when determining planning applications.
Following the passing of the Environmental Bill into law, the duty of LPAs now goes further to ensure that all (qualifying) developments must lead to genuine and demonstratable gains for biodiversity, through Biodiversity Net Gain.
