The consultation will also consider whether sites such as small and brownfield sites should be exempt.

−	The consultation ~~will also consider whether sites such as small~~ and ~~brownfield~~ sites ~~should be exempt from the rules~~. The government suggest ~~that this is~~ the first step in their ambition to embed the principle of ‘environmental net gain’ in development, driving improvements in air quality, flood defences, clean water and so on.	+	The consultation builds on the experiences of local authorities and developers who have already adopted net gain approaches. For example, Berkley Group have committed to creating a net biodiversity gain within all their development sites and are working with London Wildlife Trust to build Kidbrooke Village, a 4,800 home development that contains 20 hectares of parkland. Warwickshire County Council have also trialled and implemented a system to ensure all developments lead to no net loss of biodiversity, with each development preparing a Biodiversity Impact Assessment prior to building.

−	The consultation builds on the experiences of local authorities and developers who have already adopted net gain approaches. It highlights the example of the Berkley Group who have committed to creating a net biodiversity gain within all their development sites and are working with London Wildlife Trust to build Kidbrooke Village in East London – a new 4,800 home village development that contains 20 hectares of parkland. Warwickshire County Council have also trialled and implemented a system to ensure all developments lead to no net loss of biodiversity, with each development preparing a Biodiversity Impact Assessment prior to building.

	Dr Julia Baker, Biodiversity Technical Specialist for Balfour Beatty, said; “Early planning allows for Biodiversity Net Gain measures to be integrated into the design, programme and budget of schemes, reducing the cost and ultimately generating long-term benefits for nature and society.”		Dr Julia Baker, Biodiversity Technical Specialist for Balfour Beatty, said; “Early planning allows for Biodiversity Net Gain measures to be integrated into the design, programme and budget of schemes, reducing the cost and ultimately generating long-term benefits for nature and society.”
