Biodiversity Net Gain
10% Biodiversity Net Gain is a mandatory requirement for all new major developments as of 12th February 2024 and for Small Sites from April 2024. Our expert ecologists will guide you through this new process, advising from the very early stages of land acquisition and development on how best to achieve the required 10% gain. We guide developers through the planning process and advise land owners on options to unlock the Biodiversity Unit value of their land.

Performing a key advisory role in your project team, our ecologists bring valuable insights to the initial stages of your project. We will establish clear details of ecology options, setting out time-frame and budgeting scenarios to optimise the design and scheduling of the development.

Reconnecting people and nature
Ecology in sustainable development
We aim to reconnect people and nature by encouraging the integration of ecology into our communities. We work with project teams to achieve Biodiversity Net Gain, aiming to optimise the long-term contribution of a development to the local biodiversity network, enabling wildlife to thrive alongside people.
