Environment Bank is the only UK provider with Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) Units available to purchase or reserve nationwide across England and is already providing units to many developers. It offers a risk-free and straightforward approach to meeting BNG requirements – reducing or even removing the need for commercially valuable land to be used for habitat creation.
Environment Bank has an extensive network of Habitat Banks which ensures the availability of BNG Units locally. Developers can use this network to deliver net gain efficiently and cost-effectively, either offsite or as part of a hybrid on/offsite solution.
When purchasing BNG Units, Environment Bank becomes legally responsible for delivery, monitoring, and reporting on habitat creation, not the developer. This removes the burden from the developer and provides complete peace of mind for the entire 30-year term in a single transaction.
Its Habitat Banks legally comply with the Environment Act 2021 and the National Planning Policy Framework. They are large-scale nature restoration areas managed for 30 years, creating new habitats such as woodlands, wetlands, and species-rich grasslands in areas of ecological importance.
To understand the costs involved in meeting your BNG obligations under planning law, contacting Environment Bank early in your planning strategy is essential.
