Biodiversity Net Gain is a pivotal development for landscape professionals, with Wildflowers having a major part to play, offering the ‘diversity’ bit of ‘biodiversity’. A typical wildflower habitat will have anywhere from 20 – 60 species in a given area! However, the process of assessing and delivering this objective isn’t necessarily straightforward. In layman’s terms, the developer has to build in biodiversity in any way. The mandatory and audited scheme means the BNG metric is law, and part of planning permission, which in turn means development projects will have to enhance biodiversity by a minimum of 10% and this improvement will be audited after completion and (significantly) for the next 30 years.
