Sustainability - environmental concerns - biodiversity.
Biodiversity offsets are actions undertaken by developers to produce improvements - or gains - in biodiversity.
These improvements - or gains - can be offset against the expected negative impacts of the proposed development on biodiversity.
Biodiversity offsetting would generally be a final measure, having first taken steps to mitigate and minimise the direct negative impacts.
The normal overall objective would be no net loss of biodiversity, or a net gain in biodiversity.
