Can you give us a bit of a, a brief overview?

Absolutely.

So starting with, uh, BNG, so that's biodiversity net gain, and, and really the concept there is in connection with development, the natural environment, host development should be improved as compared with the state of the natural environment pre-development.

Uh, what that means in practice is open to a wide range of in- interpretation, but the way that the government has tried to codify the requirement is with a central metric against which assessments are made.

Uh, and what everyone looks for is achieving the biodiversity objective, which is a 10% gain as compared with pre-development and post-development.

That can be delivered in different ways, either on the development sites, and in which case that doesn't engage farmers, landowners in, in many ways, or it can be achieved by acquiring offsite biodiversity units from dedicated habitat banks.

There is a third way, which is to buy government-backed credits, but that's fairly irrelevant for the purposes of today.

Just can we run through it in terms of, uh, if someone does actually have a piece of wetland that they'd like to look at, what would they do? You know, what is the formalities of this?
