Statutory Biodiversity Metric Training Description This course is based on the Statutory Biodiversity Metric issued for England’s first phase of mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain for most developments seeking planning permission. This course provides training on good practice for undertaking statutory biodiversity metric calculations for a development. It covers the baseline and post-development calculations, both on-site and off-site. While off-site calculations are covered, this course focuses on statutory biodiversity metric calculations for a development (rather than for offsite providers). This training will be covered by three online Zoom sessions (each of three hours). Please note that this course does not cover details on designing Biodiversity Net Gain for a development, or the Watercourse component of the Statutory Metric or on Habitat Condition Assessments. Other CIEEM training courses are available on these aspects.
