Selling carbon credits

[N.Yorks.]

Front page of shropshire star.
Biodiversity budget of 225k for 200 homes.
And Telford and Wrekin plan to build 14500!

I'm guessing that is Biodiversity Net Gain policy? What you wipe out you pay to put back elsewhere or nearby....?

How do the numbers stack up for agreements to do this, will the payments to landowners/long term tenants make it actually worthwhile?

As I'm typing this it occurs to me that it should be/needs to be significantly more expensive to replace biodiversity etc....
human expansion should be bloody expensive. We haven't got any predators keeping our numbers down so we have to self regulate somehow. Seems making things expensive might be an answer?

Indeed. Just over £1000 per home is a joke.
