What is Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)?
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is a measurable approach to improving biodiversity in the development process. It ensures that projects leave the environment in a better condition than before by enhancing habitats, protecting wildlife, and integrating nature-based solutions into development planning. In line with UK government regulations, developers are required to deliver a minimum 10% net gain in biodiversity.
BNG supports sustainable land use and development, ensuring that construction, urban expansion, and infrastructure projects contribute positively to the environment rather than depleting natural resources.
