Biodiversity Net Gain is a key tool for meeting housing, infrastructure and nature targets. It is being watched closely by governments around the world as it demonstrates how nature recovery, growth, and private investment can thrive together. Join the leading experts for an in-depth look into England's flagship biodiversity policy.

Speakers

Nick White, Principal Advisor Net Gain at Natural England. The facts and figures on how BNG policy has shaped development and nature recovery in England post-regulation and what the future projections look like.

Lisa Tye, Partner and Joint Head of the Planning Team at Shoosmiths. How the legal frameworks that underpin BNG delivery are not only helping to put nature back but are also informing site design decisions to minimise environmental impacts.

Rachel Danemann, Regional Planning Manager at HBF. Effective options for developers to meet their BNG planning requirements while identifying opportunities to provide better support for SMEs.

Neil Beamsley, Group Head of Biodiversity at Bellway Homes. How Bellway successfully integrates BNG into its developments to improve placemaking and reduce local planning blocks through local nature delivery.

Nathan Jenkinson, Strategic Account Director at Environment Bank. How rapidly growing networks of off-site BNG Habitat Banks are driving private investment into large-scale nature recovery in England while providing a lifeline to many farmers.

This panel discussion will be hosted by Luke Bigwood, CMO at Environment Bank. The conversations will continue into a networking session, where food and drinks will be provided until 6pm.

This event is relevant to anyone working in the built environment sector who is keen to understand more about BNG policy and how it can help them deliver sustainable development.
