Event Description
RTPI South West welcomes to you their CPD Seminar series for 2025. This is a HYBRID Seminar so you may opt to attend in-person or virtually. We hope this enables the event to be as inclusive as possible.
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) has been a huge topic for the last year or so with lots of training and info sessions focusing on the ‘big picture’ including legislation and principles. This session focuses entirely on BNG on small sites. While major developments have more opportunities to achieve BNG on-site or have capacity in their budgets to purchase off site credits, small sites are not usually afforded that luxury and therefore BNG presents some unique challenges to these sites.
The day aims to equip participants with the practical and detailed knowledge needed to understand how to achieve BNG on small sites and will provide a legal update, a panel discussion on key issues plus case studies and workshop sessions.
Programme
Please note that the programme is still in draft stage. We reserve the right to update and amend the programme accordingly. We will do our best to keep the event programme current and reactive to any key legislation or guidance changes.
Topics may include:
- BNG recap
- Legal update
- Panel discussions with a focus on small sites
- Credits and Linear credits
- Case studies
- Lessons from minerals and waste planning
- Workshops:
- BNG Metric
- Enforcement and Monitoring
- LNRS and BNG
