As a result of FPCR's continued involvement, widely seen as a trusted authority on BNG matters and because ofthe evolving legislative and policy framework in the UK, we have seen an increased volume of 'project' related BNG work from our existing client base in addition to other involvement in prospective biodiversity banking and offsetting schemes.
