Understanding Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) and How We Can Help

Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is a game-changing approach to development, ensuring that projects contribute positively to the natural environment. From January 2024, all new developments in England and Wales must deliver a minimum 10% net gain in biodiversity. (In some areas, like Kent County Council, this requirement is even higher - set at 20%). 

These new habitats will enhance the landscape and help combat climate change by capturing and storing carbon as well as creating a better quality natural habitat than there was before development.

Incorporating BNG into development projects is not merely a regulatory requirement but an opportunity to contribute positively to the environment. By partnering with experienced providers like JN Gardening and Biodiversity and Habitat Solutions Ltd, developers can achieve compliance whilst making a positive impact on the environment.

Fully Managed BNG units.

BNG permits developers to increase the biodiversity on site or if this isn't viable it can also be offset by enhancing the habitat and biodiversity of an offsite location.

There is a third option namely to purchase Biodiversity Net Gain Units from an approved provider. We work with facility management companies and property developers to create bespoke and fully managed BNG units offsite.

This is particularly popular for clients with habitats and eco systems which are niche and require expensive units to alternatively purchase due to low supply on the open market.
