Bidwells To Undertake Study On Biodiversity Net Gain
Bidwells, the leading real estate adviser has been instructed by the Investment Property Forum to undertake a study which considers the current and future implications of biodiversity net gain for major investors and developers.
The requirement for new developments to achieve a mandatory biodiversity net gain of 10 per cent was introduced in early 2024. It is still a relatively new regulation with many developers and investors considering its implications. The timing of the regulations is such that the full impact has yet to be felt.
Bidwells is recognised as an industry leader in biodiversity net gain, advising on the first biodiversity offsetting scheme in the UK over a decade ago. The Natural Capital team has supported landowners and investors in the establishment of over 30 habitat banks for the purpose of biodiversity net gain, with unparalleled experience in this sector.
On winning this latest mandate Sue Foxley, Research Director for Bidwells explained: "The crucial balance between quality development and the need to protect and enhance the natural environment means this is an opportune moment for the real estate and investment development community to consider what biodiversity net gain means both now and potentially in the future."
The research will be published by the IPF later in 2025.
