Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) will be hosting a webinar on Thursday 19th September 2024 (6:30pm - 7:30pm)

Webinar info:

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is a regulator and a developer. As an organisation they are designing and building civil engineering projects that must deliver a net benefit for biodiversity. 

Whilst the Section 6 duty to maintain and enhance biodiversity and promote ecosystem resilience has been a requirement on NRW since the introduction of the Environment (Wales) Act 2016, recent changes to Planning Policy Wales (PPW) mean they, like all developers, must demonstrate a net benefit for biodiversity, within Green Infrastructure Statements when we submit planning applications.

In this webinar we will look at the requirements of the recent PPW changes and some of the tools and techniques that we are developing to ensure we can deliver a net benefit for biodiversity and wider benefits through our projects.
