Defra is currently considering its policy options on offsetting which include what spatial constraints there might be on the location of offsets.

These considerations are being made in light of feedback and evidence from several sources. These include our public consultation on biodiversity offsetting in England, the Environmental Audit Committee's report and evidence from the six offsetting pilots.
