"Eco Bank solved my BNG problem, they understood exactly what I needed to comply with planning obligations for my development and set out clearly what I was buying. My BNG Units were delivered on time and prevented any delays starting the build. It was great to hear about the environmental work being done and the benefits to local schools benefiting from the conservation projects."

What are BNG Units?

BNG units are measurable improvements or avoided losses to biodiversity which developers can purchase to meet Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) requirements and satisfy planning conditions.

How does BNG work?

Developers now need to assess the baseline quality of habitats and biodiversity on site before then assessing the impact on habitats from the development work as part of the planning process.

Can I buy BNG Units before I have planning approval?

Yes, we can reserve BNG Units pre-planning so you are guaranteed to have the BNG Units you need. Contact a member of our team today to secure your BNG Units.

The 10% rule

The Environment Act 2021 requires a statutory minimum of 10% biodiversity net gain (BNG) for all new developments in England & Wales from February 2024. These can be delivered offsite by BNG habitat banks where it's not viable to deliver them onsite.
