Every Acre Earns
Helping Landowners, Developers and Habitat Bank Providers Profit from the burgeoning Biodiversity Net Gain Market.
What is Biodiversity Net Gain?
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is a mandatory planning requirement under the Environment Act 2021, requiring all new developments in England to deliver a measurable 10% net improvement in biodiversity above pre-development baseline levels.
Mandatory for major planning applications since February 2024, BNG will extend to Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) from May 2026 — rapidly expanding compliance demand across the UK's largest infrastructure programmes.
Developers unable to deliver biodiversity improvements on-site must purchase units from Natural England registered off-site habitat banks. This creates a structural, long-term market underpinned by legislation — not sentiment.
