Biodiversity Net Gain at Bog Farm
Restoring Nature for the Long Term
BNG at a Glance
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is a mandatory planning rule in England that requires new developments to leave the natural environment in a measurably better state than it was before.
Under the law, most building projects must deliver at least a 10% increase in biodiversity, calculated using a standard government metric.
When a developer cannot create enough new wildlife habitat within their own site boundaries, they can meet their legal obligation by purchasing "offsite units." These units are credits generated by landowners who have dedicated land to creating and maintaining new habitats elsewhere, allowing your project to satisfy planning requirements smoothly and unlock development approval.
The Baseline
The Plan
Bog Farm is creating several high distinctiveness habitats and converting them into Biodiversity Net Gain Units.
As with everything at Bog Farm, we offer more than just the credits. We will give those buying them the opportunity to visit and see their investment in action.
Very soon, credits from several habitats will become available to purchase. Please get in contact if you wish to receive more information.
