Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) became mandatory for small developments on 2nd April 2024. In this webinar you will learn what is required for a landscape architect to be deemed competent and complete the Small Sites Metric.

Essentially, for residential development, a small site means a development with fewer than 10 houses on less than one hectare of land.

“It was relevant to the discipline and I valued the timing of it in relation to the recent legal introduction of the requirement” – past attendee
