What is Biodiversity Net Gain?

​

Biodiversity Net Gain is a key requirement under UK planning regulations, designed to ensure that development projects leave the natural environment in a better state than before. Whether you’re a developer, landowner, or project manager, BNG is now an essential part of gaining planning approval, and our role is to make this process as seamless and effective as possible for you.
