Brownfield land: BNG and other opportunities

a brownfield site in Leeds

In this webinar Jon Davies and Tom Henman talked about the biodiversity value and Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG potential) of brownfield sites as well as the other constraints and opportunities often associated with contamination, landfill and other issues. They also discussed an options appraisal process that is used to determine the best end use for a brownfield site, whether housing, data centres, solar, wind, battery storage or indeed BNG.

This webinar was part of the BNG in Practice event series. It was organised by the IES Land Condition Community, which supports best practice in land condition with its membership covering sectors and job types across the field. The Community focuses on providing tailored membership services for land condition professionals and engaging externally with key stakeholders.
