About this contract

North York Moors and New Forest National Park Authorities (NYMNPA and NFNPA respectively) are responsible for conserving and enhancing two of England's most distinctive protected landscapes. Through their statutory roles, management plans and trusted local relationships, the Authorities support nature recovery, resilient landscapes and the long-term stewardship of the National Parks. Statutory markets for Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) and Nutrient Neutrality (NN) are creating new opportunities to secure long-term investment in nature recovery across England. Since February 2024, BNG has been mandatory for most developments. Similarly, NN is mandatory for housing developments occurring in 27 catchments across England. As Local Planning Authorities, the NPAs already have a regulatory role in relation to these markets. They now wish to understand the opportunities for taking on wider roles, such as supporting off-site habitat and credit delivery with advice and ecology services, convening partners, brokering opportunities for landowners, or developing a habitat bank or similar service. Local planning authorities are also covered by the 'Biodiversity Duty' set out in the Environment Act
