Whether you simply need to purchase units, want full guidance through planning, or get tools to move faster - we’ve got you covered.
Below are the services we provide so you can find the right level of support. Our team is always happy to answer your questions.
At Biodiversity Units UK, we give you certainty in the BNG process.
BNG Core
Off-Site Unit Purchase
Access the UK’s largest network of BNG Unit Suppliers (100+) with full market visibility - without paying over the odds.
BNG Core ensures you get choice, clarity and great value
Ideal for projects focused on purchasing units where the developer wants to know all their options - but is happy to complete all planning paperwork and negotiate any terms with the supplier direct.
What you get:
Verified supply options from a wide network of habitat banks.
Matched pricing guarantees with the majority of suppliers.
Help sourcing off-site units that meet your project’s BNG needs - without you having to chase every new provider.
BNG Certainty
Unit Purchase + Project Support
Need more than just units? This is for you.
Our BNG Certainty Service gives full support across sourcing, compliance, and planning so you can be confident from start to finish.
It is designed for property developers who want to reduce risk, simplify the process, and make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
What’s included:
Market-wide supply options + Matched Pricing (as above)
All necessary planning documents for purchase
A tailored cost-reduction strategy based on your project specifics
Negotiation of favourable payment terms
Transactional support: handling Local Planning Authority paperwork, coordinating with ecologists, planning consultants, etc.
Full LPA liaison to help avoid delays or misunderstandings
Biodiversity Gain Plan Completion
When your project needs that final piece - the Biodiversity Gain Plan - we’ll pull it together. Whether you’re using our unit-services or not, this ensures you have a compliant, robust plan for submission.
Great for projects that have the pieces in place - but still need a final compliant plan for BNG planning obligations.
Included free if you use our Certainty Service + purchase units through us.
If you just need the Biodiversity Gain Plan, and are sourcing units elsewhere (or don’t need them), we provide this for £500.
