Biodiversity Net Gain: Why Every Development Needs It in 2025

Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) Made Practical

BNG is now mandatory for most developments, requiring at least a 10% uplift measured via the statutory metric. This raises the bar for baseline evidence and design integration. Early scoping is key to keeping costs down and approvals moving.

Start with a Phase 1 Desktop Study to collate baseline constraints and identify opportunities for habitat retention, enhancement and creation. Use the findings to shape layout, drainage and landscaping so BNG becomes an integrated design outcome—not a late‑stage bolt‑on.

Developer advantages

• Fewer late changes and off‑site credit purchases.
• Clearer planning dialogue with ecological evidence.
• Stronger ESG narrative for funders and sales.
