Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is an approach to development, and/or land management, that aims to leave the natural environment in a measurably better state than it was beforehand.

It is mandatory for all planning permissions granted in England to deliver at least 10% biodiversity net gain. BNG will be required for small sites from April 2024. BNG will be measured using Defra’s biodiversity metric and habitats will need to be secured for at least 30 years.

Biodiversity net gain can be achieved on-site, off-site or through a combination of on-site and off-site measures.

We are making units available in multiple LPAs enabling you to discharge your requirements for BNG. All of our schemes are created to the highest ecological standards to ensure that the habitats thrive.

All of our schemes are secured using a Section 106 agreement or a Conservation Covenant. Our schemes have full management and monitoring plans so purchasing our credits means no further liability for the developer.

Unlike nutrient neutrality, BNG credits can be used in any part UK location.
