Biodiversity Net Gain

The Ecology Consultancy have experience of delivering a net gain for biodiversity on projects ranging from major infrastructure schemes through to small urban developments, and in resolving significant constraints to delivery.

Our specialist ecology teams are well equipped to provide services in relation to BNG, including:

• initial advice to inform site selection and establish on and off-site feasibility
• baseline surveys and condition assessments to inform outline design and provide data pre-development metric calculations for BNG;
• design input, often as part of multi-disciplinary teams, to help create high-quality schemes that deliver demonstrable benefits for biodiversity;
• preparing and monitoring site-specific biodiversity management and maintenance plans; and
• engaging with stakeholders and consultees involved in BNG including statutory bodies, planning authorities and voluntary sector organisations.
