Biodiversity Net Gain

Delivering mandatory and voluntary aspirations, onsite and offsite

Whether your aim is to fulfil a statutory obligation or to go ‘above and beyond’ and deliver on a voluntary ESG aspiration, we can help you.

We provide a complete package of support giving clear, joined-up advice in one place on issues as varied as ecology, habitat management, planning and land tenure.

Our team includes in-house experts accredited with the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM), planning specialists, and farm and estate management consultants.

We can help you evaluate the biodiversity status of your would-be site and clarify your obligations for BNG delivery, either onsite or offsite. If you prefer to be ‘hands-on’ with some or all of the actual delivery, we can provide essential practical and technical support.

If you require offsite units, our extensive contacts list of land managers, responsible for tens of thousands of acres, means we can connect you with a partner with a proven track record delivering for the environment.

We are accomplished at getting planning applications green-lit, both at initial application stage and appeal, so you can be confident our highly qualified, experienced and respected team will give your proposal the maximum possible likelihood of approval by a planning authority. 

We have decades of experience of farm habitats and stewardship agreements at individual farm level, as well as with ‘cluster groups’ and landscape-scale habitat schemes. Having been selected to help with one of Natural England’s nine pilot projects to originally establish the legislative framework for BNG, we have been at the forefront of this market from the start and involved in a raft of agreements.

We can help you:

• Get planning applications approved, as a result of our expertise and reputation 
• Understand your site from a biodiversity perspective
• Find the ideal piece of land and partner 
• Design and deliver habitat enhancement and creation
• Avoid having to deal with lots of different people in lots of different firms
