We asked

Biodiversity Net Gain is a new approach that is being developed to contribute to the recovery of nature while developing land. It is making sure the habitat for wildlife is in a better state than it was before development.

The Council has produced a Biodiversity Net Gain Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). The SPD provides guidance to developers, planning applicants and Borough residents on which developments in Fareham will need to provide 10% minimum Biodiversity Net Gain and which developments would not. The guidance explains the expectations of the Council as to where and how qualifying development should provide BNG and how it is to be secured, managed and monitored for the minimum period required.

Residents can read the documents in the links above and make a representation.

Representations must be made by 11:59pm on Tuesday 30 May 2023 and submitted via post or email:
