Biodiversity Net Gain Update - January 2025

Our portfolio of habitat banks across the country are designed to provide cost-effective solutions to developments with off-site Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) requirements. We hold a sole brokering mandate on several sites already registered and a huge pipeline of sites in development.

Our BNG schemes provide a wide range of unit quantities from fractions of a unit to tens and hundreds of units and a variety of habitat types and distinctiveness. This enables us to tailor our biodiversity unit allocations to meet development requirements, so you can secure your off-site BNG in one place.

We have dynamic pricing to ensure we are providing a cost-effective solution that resembles the true cost of establishment and delivery risk and will always offer a discount for large transaction volumes.

We aim to maximise environmental outcomes by establishing BNG schemes in ecologically strategic locations and at landscape scale.

Developers can secure an option on units that can be presented to the LPA during the planning application review process. Alternatively, a straightforward allocation can be provided where BNG has been conditioned to a planning consent.

We guarantee the credibility of our BNG schemes by systematically tracking biodiversity unit capacity and regulating unit allocations.

When you secure biodiversity units from any of our schemes, you can have confidence in the delivery of high quality habitat enhancements and their long term management and monitoring.
