Biodiversity Net Gain Law and Practice

Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) actively rebuilds the natural environment, with a conservation approach that transcends the traditional mitigation of environmental impacts, emphasising the enhancement and restoration of ecosystems and biodiversity.Biodiversity Net Gain Law and Practice provides a comprehensive understanding of the legal frameworks and policies that govern the protection and enhancement of biodiversity. This book explores the intersection of environmental, planning, and development laws and highlights how these regulations work together to ensure sustainable development and conservation efforts. It covers key legislation such as the Planning Act 2008, the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, and the National Planning Policy Framework.Through case studies, legal analysis, and policy discussions, this book illustrates the practical applications and challenges of implementing biodiversity laws, and compares their success in the UK, Europe, India, Australia, Japan and South Africa.This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Environmental Law online service.
