Achieving Biodiversity Net Gain
Development schemes in England are required to deliver 10% biodiversity net gain (BNG) for at least 30 years. Emphasis is placed on enhancing habitats and improving biodiversity on site over time.
Achieving BNG on crowded distribution sites is challenging, so addressing BNG during planning applications is key to preventing costly delays further down the line. Our team can help you avoid harm to habitats and efficiently utilise space on logistics sites to achieve BNG.
