“Is my Land suitable for Biodiversity Net Gain?”
Not all land is suitable for Biodiversity Net Gain, and successful projects depend on careful site selection, realistic ecological design, and long-term management.
Example:
1. Land type and current habitat
Arable land, improved grassland, and low ecological value habitats are often the most suitable starting points.
2. Size of land parcel
BNG projects typically require a meaningful area of land to be viable.
3. Location relative to development
Sites closer to development pressure may have stronger demand for biodiversity units.
4. Long-term commitment
BNG projects require habitat management for a minimum of 30 years.
5. Baseline ecological condition
Lower baseline habitats often provide greater opportunity for biodiversity uplift.
If you think your land may be suitable, we can carry out a preliminary feasibility assessment.
