Decision

RESOLVED THAT:

1. 1.    the principle of continued co-operation on Biodiversity Net Gain through the Gloucestershire Nature and Climate Fund be approved. Whilst it will not be the only option available to developers unable to provide the required minimum 10% biodiversity uplift on-site, GNCF is designed to provide a robust off-site option for retaining developer investment in BNG within the county;
2. 2.    authority is delegated to the Cabinet member for Climate Emergency to sign the MoU on behalf of the authority.
