AbstractBiodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is a policy set out in the Environment Act 2021. On 12 February BNG became mandatory for major Town and Country Planning Act (TCPA).The Local Planning Authority (LPA) will decide the BNG requirements for TCPA applications. The TCPA extends down to Mean Low Water meaning BNG will apply to developments within the intertidal zone. There are some differences in the way BNG can be applied between intertidal habitats and other terrestrial habitats. Decision makers must understand the differences when considering TCPA planning applications.
