EVENT | Biodiversity Net Gain – Solutions for Developers and Designers

As this month marks a milestone for BNG – whereby all developments will have to show how they increase biodiversity by 10% in order to receive planning permission – we will be hosting a panel discussion to deliberate the complexities of balancing development with biodiversity conservation.

Whilst the concept of biodiversity net gain (BNG) has emerged as a promising approach to mitigate the negative impacts of development, it has been met with both enthusiasm and skepticism, raising critical questions about its effectiveness and long-term viability. 

Careful consideration of its limitations and potential pitfalls is crucial to ensuring that BNG does not become a mere greenwashing exercise.

Vertical Meadow will be hosting and moderating the event with experts panellists, including:  

Peter Massini | Former Head of Green Infrastructure at the GLA

Lydia Morrow | Project Director at Lipton Rogers Developments

Rosie Whicheloe | Biodiversity Net Gain Officer at the London Borough of Sutton

Donald MacIntyre | Founder at Emorsgate Seeds

Neil Harwood | Associate Director (Ecology) at Arup

Alistair Law (moderator) | Founder at Vertical Meadow
