The Environmental Audit Committee has launched a new inquiry into the Government consultation on Biodiversity offsetting in England, which proposes to introduce a system for allowing biodiversity loss associated with developments to be measured and offset against compensatory biodiversity gain elsewhere.

To submit your own written evidence to the inquiry please go to:

http://www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/commons-select/environmental-audit-committee/inquiries/parliament-2010/biodiversity-offsetting/

Please follow the guidance when making any such submission to the inquiry.

The deadline is Tuesday 15th October 2013.

I am considering making a personal submission to the inquiry myself. If you prefer, please email your views (or information which supplements my last blog) to: smestowsightings@gmail.com, and it will add to my thoughts.

I think that you will all agree that this policy would have a major impact on how well we can achieve our biodiversity goals.

Thank you.
