Purpose:

Content: As part of the planning requirements, construction projects are required to meet Biodiversity Net Gain credits. If these credits cannot be achieved within the construction area, habitat banks are available to purchase the units, to ensure the credits are achieved. Due to constraints on the All Saints School site, it is not possible to achieve these credits within the site location, therefore the Council are required to secure an off site habitat bank to achieve the credits required to deliver this scheme.
