How the BNG unit process works
BNG can be difficult to navigate when a development cannot deliver enough biodiversity gain on-site. We make the off-site unit process clearer by helping developers understand what units may be available, what information is needed, and how suitable habitat sites can support their planning requirements.
A Simple Process…
Tell us what you need
Send us your development details, location and BNG unit requirement if you already have it.
We check availability
We review suitable habitat sites and available unit types to see what may match your requirement.
Units are reserved or purchased
Once suitable units are confirmed, we guide you through the commercial and documentation process.
Long-term management is secured
The habitat site is managed and monitored for the required long-term period.
Helping developers meet their BNG requirements
Many development sites cannot deliver their full Biodiversity Net Gain requirement within the red line boundary. Space, design constraints, viability and long-term management can all make on-site delivery difficult.
Where off-site units are needed, we help developers understand what may be available and whether a suitable habitat site could support their planning route.
We can help with:
Off-site biodiversity units
Habitat site availability
Broad location matching
Planning and consultant support
Reservation and purchase discussions
Long-term habitat management information
Helping Landowners Sell Their Land
Turning suitable land into BNG units
We also work with landowners who may have suitable land for biodiversity enhancement, habitat creation or long-term management.
If your land has potential, it may be possible to create biodiversity units that can be sold to developers who need off-site BNG.
The process usually involves:
Reviewing the land and its current use
Assessing habitat potential
Understanding constraints and opportunities
Creating a long-term habitat plan
Making suitable units available to developers
Built around long-term habitat delivery
BNG is not just about buying units and moving on. Habitat sites need to be managed and monitored over the required long-term period.
Our approach is based on creating and maintaining habitat sites that can deliver measurable biodiversity improvements over time.
This long-term approach helps give developers, landowners and planning teams greater confidence that the units are backed by a managed habitat site, not just a short-term fix.
