On 15 April 2026 we published the Government response to the summer 2025 consultations: BNG for Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) and Improving BNG implementation for minor, medium and brownfield development.
On the same date we launched a new consultation on an additional targeted exemption for residential brownfield development, which closes on 10 June 2026.
