What are BNG habitat credits?
Habitat units, or BNG units represent measurable improvements or avoided losses to biodiversity that developers can purchase to compensate for the impact of their projects on the habitats to your site, enabling you to meet Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) requirements and secure planning consent.
Why do I need to buy BNG habitat units?
The Environment Act 2021 requires a statutory minimum of 10% biodiversity net gain (BNG) for all new developments in England & Wales from February 2024.
Every development now requires an ecological assessment on the impact your project will have on habitats and biodiversity. This report will show the lost habitat units of various types and distinctiveness of habitat for your site. If you can't replace these units on-site with a net gain of 10% then you will require off-site BNG units to cover the shortfall and ensure you get sign off from your local planning authority for your development project.
Our team of ecology, planning and compliance experts are ready to provide certified high quality BNG units, ensuring your investment in the local ecosystem makes a real difference to the biodiversity of plants and animals.
