Achieve 10% Biodiversity Net Gain

HOW WE CAN HELP

We recognise the urgent need to protect natural resources and secure a sustainable future for generations ahead. By implementing responsible practices and leveraging innovative solutions, we aim to lead in biodiversity conservation. Our team will support you in conducting a BNG assessment, ensuring compliance with the latest regulations and achieving the 10% Biodiversity Net Gain target through a comprehensive biodiversity net gain plan.

DATA COLLECTION

Tunley will gather site-specific information, including the various habitat types within the area and how these habitats are affected by implemented actions. This process will enable us to establish the baseline number of biodiversity units present. A thorough analysis of the site will be conducted to assess the positive and negative impacts of any actions on biodiversity.

CALCULATION

Tunley will utilise the collected data on the area's identified habitats, including their type, size, condition, and local significance, to calculate the baseline biodiversity units. This analysis will guide decisions on where habitats should be conserved, enhanced, or newly created to achieve the 10% BNG (Biodiversity Net Gain) targets.

IMPLEMENTATION

Building on the baseline results, we will collaborate with the organisation to create a tailored plan for implementing nature-positive initiatives in the area to meet the 10% BNG requirement. These initiatives may include habitat restoration, conservation efforts, or sustainable land management practices to achieve the 10% Net Gain target.

I used Tunley for a BNG at a time when availability of this service nationally was at an all-time low because of changes to Planning Laws and they offered me a sensible time frame, a sensible price and they delivered the report on time. The Communication, speed of delivery, quality of report, and simplicity of process was well delivered. What more could you ask for?"

BNG Regulation

HOW DOES THE BNG REGULATION AFFECT YOU?

The Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) regulations are part of the Environmental Act 2021 which promotes nature positive change in the UK. It applies to all developments in England covered by the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, they will be required to assess the current biodiversity value of the natural habitats on-site and produce a plan to ensure that the 10% Biodiversity Net Gain requirement is met once the development or project is completed. To achieve this requirement, you will need to consider how you will contribute to the recovery of nature in the local area in the land development plans.

This regulation applies to:

LAND MANAGERS

Land managers are able to sell biodiversity units as well as combining with other land managers to increase the area you have for sale. You are unable to sell units for land that already has plans to be created or enhanced.

DEVELOPERS

Developers must try to avoid loss of habitat to a piece of land you plan to do development work on. If you are unable to avoid this, you must create a habitat either on or off-site. A final resort would be to purchase statutory credits from the government, this requires consultation from an ecologist.

LOCAL PLANNING AUTHORITIES

Local Planning Authorities will have to approve plans before any development is able to start.
