As of February 2024, Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is now a legal requirement for nearly all development projects in England. Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) are obligated to ensure that developers demonstrate a 10% net gain in biodiversity compared to the pre-development value. 📜🌳 While the law applies to most projects, there are some exceptions. National infrastructure projects are exempt until 2025, and certain minor residential plans may also be excluded. However, for the vast majority of developers, BNG compliance is now a critical part of the planning process. 🏗️❓ Our team of BNG experts has been at the forefront of this legislative change, and we have the knowledge and experience to guide you through the compliance process. 💡💚 We'll help you turn compliance into a competitive advantage and contribute to a greener, more sustainable future. 🌍💪 Don't let the new BNG law catch you off guard. Partner with Civity today and let us help you navigate this new landscape with expert guidance and support! 📞 Contact us now to discover how our BNG expertise can help you comply with the law and achieve your development goals. 📱0208 050 6076 ✉️ [email protected] 💻https://civitynge.com/ #biodiversitynetgain #ecology #biodiversity #development #calculate #education #gogreen #future #climatechange #eco #offset #learn #environment #earth #globalwarming #carbonfootprint #agriculture #green #climate #architecture #planning #environmentbill #zerowaste #savetheplanet #arboriculture #ecologyuk #architect #BNG #ecologist #landowners #propertydevelopment #developer

We were delighted to support your event and hopefully it answered a lot of the audiences uncertainties about this new industry. The crux of this is to engage with a good ecologist early and only engage with landbanks selling high quality, deliverable biodiversity units.
Specialise in Partnerships, Content & Event Marketing. Passionate about Startup/SME Growth. Host of Real Developer Podcast & Developers Boardroom events.
Bio-diversity Net Gain may not feel sexy, but its something our industry should want to, and needs to, understand and get on top of. The benefits to end users, communities and the environment are real. BNG guidelines and on and off site options were explained incredibly clearly by the very passionate Civity team James Howsam, Lyvy Hall Sam Farmer yesterday, with probably more audience questions than I've ever witnessed. Always sign of an engaging talk. Bertie R. and Curchods Estate Agents team did an outstanding job of gathering a solid group of #smedevelopers, glad LandTech were able to support by connecting Curchods & Civity as mutual Partners in our programme.

As a developer, you're now required to demonstrate Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) in your projects. This means not only creating BNG units but also managing them for a minimum of 30 years. It's a significant responsibility that can tie up your resources and add complexity to your core business. 📅💰 You have options for meeting the BNG requirement, such as creating units on your development site or using the land you already own or plan to buy. However, these options come with risks, obligations, and long-term costs that may not align with your primary focus. 🏗️❓ Civity offers a simpler, more efficient way to achieve BNG compliance. As an approved seller of BNG units, we can provide you with the units you need without the hassle of creating and managing them yourself. 💚✅ 📞 Contact us now to discover how our approved BNG units can streamline your compliance process. 📱0208 050 6076 ✉️ [email protected] 💻https://civitynge.com/ #biodiversitynetgain #ecology #biodiversity #development #calculate #education #gogreen #future #climatechange #eco #offset #learn #environment #earth #globalwarming #carbonfootprint #agriculture #green #climate #architecture #planning #environmentbill #zerowaste #savetheplanet #arboriculture #ecologyuk #architect #BNG #ecologist #landowners #propertydevelopment #developer
