BNG: TLT and Belmont Estate talk nature positivity

On 12 February, Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) came into effect in the UK. Now, developers must ensure that their development has a ‘measurably positive impact’ on biodiversity, creating and improving natural habitats.

We spoke to Estate Manager, Gil Martin, from our partner Belmont Estate, to review the new rules, share how TLT can help provide guidance on changing ESG regulations, and delve into why he thinks Biodiversity Net Gain can play such an important role in raising climate consciousness.
