BNG Breakfast - Truro

Two years since Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) came into effect and it’s already delivering on its promise – driving vital nature recovery without obstructing essential development. BNG is now helping unlock the projects needed to meet the UK's ambitious development targets, including building 1.5 million new homes, and seeing our valuable habitats restored. Join us for our latest breakfast event where we'll be sharing everything you need to know about BNG in your area.

We've carefully selected speakers with local expertise to offer guidance on the planning, ecology, and legal aspects of BNG policy, along with everything they have learnt over the past year. They'll be there to give an overview of BNG, explain its requirements, and set out the most effective options for BNG delivery available near you.

Attendance will be limited so you'll be able to speak directly with our experts who are ready to offer their support.

We’ll also be giving an exclusive virtual tour of our Mawgan Habitat Bank – a live and registered BNG site that’s already generating off-site Biodiversity Units and helping to unlock development projects nearby.
