Biodiversity Net Gain Technical Advice Note (TAN)
NB: This guidance will be subject to review and will be updated as new national policy and guidance is available and through ongoing industry learning on key aspects of implementing BNG at national and local level.
This technical advice note supports South Downs Local Plan Policy SD9: Biodiversity and Geodiversity.
It provides interim guidance on how Biodiversity Net Gain is to be achieved in the South Downs National Park now in accordance with existing South Downs Local Plan Policy.
It also provides guidance on how Biodiversity Net Gain is expected to make a meaningful contribution to nature recovery.
The Local Plan should be read as a whole. However, this TAN has been produced specifically to assist in the interpretation some policies in the SDLP.
The latest version of the TAN should always be used.
