Habitat Bank Insights Series
At Biodiversity Units UK, we’re committed to giving our partner Habitat Banks as much insight, support, and visibility as possible.
That’s why we’ve developed the Habitat Bank Insights Series - a collection of exclusive content, data, and resources to keep you fully informed and ahead of the curve. Whether you want to understand market trends, see where demand is growing, or get better at managing your bank, this series is designed to help.
Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect as part of the series:
PLEASE NOTE:
In order to get these you will need to sign up with us, which you can find out about here.
1. Quarterly BNG Pricing Report (Exclusive Early Access)
This is probably what we’re best known for: our BNG Pricing Report, issued every quarter and based on data from more than 77 habitat banks across England.
As a partner, you’ll get early access before it’s released publicly. We’re always happy to talk you through the insights behind the data, so just reach out if you want a call to discuss the trends and how they might affect your pricing strategy.
2. Annual BNG Industry Report
Once a year, we publish a full BNG Industry Report - a deep dive into how the market is evolving, informed by our network of habitat banks and developers.
It offers industry-wide insights, useful benchmarking, and great material for your own comms. It also plays a key role in building public and policymaker confidence in the wider BNG system.
3. Quarterly Enquiry Heat Map
Every quarter, we produce a visual heat map of BNG enquiries across England. This helps you understand:
Where demand is concentrated
Where we’re seeing supply constraints
What types of units are in demand regionally
It’s a useful tool to help you spot opportunity based on your own site’s location and offer.
4. Tips, Templates & Tools (Ad-Hoc)
We also send out occasional “Insights & Tips” emails. These contain:
Best practices from other habitat banks
Process or compliance updates
Templates for things like legal docs, forms, or reporting
Anything else we’re using that might help you
If we find something that could make your life easier, we’ll share it.
5. “Beautiful Natural Glorious” – Your Spotlight Feature
We’ve launched a new spotlight series called Beautiful Natural Glorious (BNG)—a showcase of the amazing habitat banks we work with.
Each edition features one of our partners and is shared across our website and marketing channels. Want to be featured? Just send a few high-quality images of your site to marketing@biodiversity-units.uk and we’ll do the rest.
6. Annual Partner Poll
To keep our data accurate and useful, we’ll occasionally send you a short Google Form survey. This helps us:
Populate our annual reports
Understand market sentiment
Shape what we prioritise next
We keep it light-touch (once or twice a year max), but your input is hugely valuable and always appreciated.
Final Word
This series is our way of keeping you informed, supported, and visible. Our job is to represent you well, and that starts with giving you the best tools and information to succeed.
