The October 2024 Pricing Report from Biodiversity Units UK provides a detailed analysis of trends in the Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) market. Drawing on data from 46 habitat banks, it sheds light on price movements and market conditions as developers increasingly integrate BNG into their projects.

In a post-Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) world, the role of a Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan (HMMP) is more crucial than ever for developers and planning consultants. 

We’re scaling quickly as Biodiversity Net Gain begins to affect more and more of our developer clients.

We’ve created this guide for purchasing Large Site BNG Units. We categorise Large Site BNG as anything over 0.10 (10 hundredths of a BNG Unit) up to 100 unit mega developments.

We’ve created this guide for purchasing Small Site BNG Units. We categorise Small Site BNG as anything between 0.01 (1 Hundredth of a BNG Unit) and 0.10 (10 hundredths of a BNG Unit).

For the past 18 months we have done a deep dive into Biodiversity Net Gain and Property Development, and it revealed just how complex this space is. The learning curve has been steep for everyone. Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) has added a whole new layer to an already complicated planning process.

The list of exemptions for the UK's new Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) mandate is very narrow and specific. These exemptions ensure that BNG does not hinder very small-scale developments. It's important to note that exemptions are designed to be exceptions, not the rule. Below, we provide a brief explanation and examples of the types of developments that are exempt.

Biodiversity Units UK is proud to announce the release of its latest report, "The BNG Report: Pricing & Key Insights - July 2024," which offers an in-depth analysis of current pricing trends and market insights in the Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) sector across England. This essential resource provides developers and suppliers with critical information to navigate the evolving BNG offsite unit market.

The portal allows smaller independent developers or larger developers with smaller projects to quickly purchase their BNG units and rapidly solve their BNG problem. Designed to be able to help guide developers through a simple 6 Step Solution, assumming you have an Ecology Report and DEFRA Metric, there’s no reason you can’t get this resolved in under 10 minutes.

Each stage of the process can vary depending on how quickly we receive information from you, but assuming we have anything we need we aim to help you solve your BNG problem within 5 days.

While the new regime will undoubtedly increase environmental and social value, there are immediate financial drawbacks for developers and landowners.
