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.

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.
