https://www.gov.uk/government/consu...s sure development has,to the off-site market

Ohhhhh really!!!
I’m on my 4th BNG now… at a cost of near 6k.. they really want to know what I think of it!?!!
I’d rather they just said plant 6k worth of trees! But no the scheme has probably calculated around 3k worth of tree planting(ontop of the 6k cost for the privilege!)

What boils me the most about it is it’s another consultant I need to pay before I can even apply for planning permission - just another expense down the drain if it fails!!

this should also be of interest to you and a few here @DaveDCB ......

Strings could be loosened for SME house-builders

The government is looking at further easing the planning regime for smaller house-building sites.

" The Ministry of Housing is proposing that development sites of fewer than 10 homes will be subject to less onerous planning rules and speedier treatment, with reduced or no biodiversity net gain requirements. "
