FAQ
Q: What exactly is the Defra Statutory Metric?
A: It is the official Microsoft Excel-based calculation tool mandated by the UK government. It translates a site's habitats into "biodiversity units" to measure ecological losses and gains before and after development.
Q: What is a Biodiversity Gain Plan (BGP)?
A: A BGP is a formal document required by UK planning authorities alongside the completed Defra Metric spreadsheet. It explains how the development will achieve the mandatory 10% net gain, detailing onsite enhancements, management strategies, and monitoring commitments for 30 years.
