10.1 This list is indicative and subject to change and may be refined subject to further survey/baseline assessment work for Regulation 19 of the DLP
10.2 The DLP requires development to identify and incorporate BNG in line with Policy DLP32. Biodiversity net gain should be measurable as demonstrated by the latest DEFRA Metric.
10.3 Delivery is expected within the development site in the first instance. Where this cannot be achieved on site, developers may purchase credits for a BNG offsetting site. The list of sites in table 10.1 are sites considered suitable for BNG offsetting in Dudley.
