Buy off-site BNG units for biodiversity gain
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is mandatory under the 2021 Environment Act in England.
When new developments cannot fulfill the mandatory 10% net gain onsite, developers can purchase off-site BNG Units from our award-winning habitat banks.
Our DEFRA Metric-compliant schemes offer BNG Units for planning applications and immediate purchase.
BNG unit types available currently include:
- Woodland
- Scrub
- Ponds
- Hedgerows
- Grassland.
Our Section 106-approved habitat banks use DEFRA baselines to precisely measure biodiversity net gain, offering units for planning applications and immediate purchase.
Units are locally sourced to align with Local Planning Authorities (LPA) and Natural NCAs, and are:
-
- Reliably priced per unit with a range of habitat options
- Modeled to optimise your requirements
- Available with planning-focused option agreements
Ground Control was one of the first providers to have a habitat bank on the Natural England Biodiversity Gain Site Register. We have also been creating and restoring habitats at our nature recovery sites since 2021.
