Unlike other habitat banks, are demand led and work to meet specific requirements from developers creating better and faster returns for all involved.
We offer 3 levels of flexible managed services, tailored to meet your requirements.
Discharge your condition to us
Developer pays BNG Partnership an agreed fee per unit which discharges the BNG condition and passes on responsibility to us.
All relevant documentation regarding your offsite units are provided to discharge your planning condition.
Developer has existing land to use for offsetting
Where a developer has existing land they want to use for BNG offsetting we can provide all the ecological work. Then, using our agricultural and land management expertise, implement and manage the habitat for 30-years.
Software only service
A developer uses our software platform to manage all their on and offsite BNG, keeping them informed of audits and relevant documents. The software will provide a marketplace to purchase offsite BNG units from habitat banks.
We go beyond the required monitoring and reporting to gather acoustic monitoring, vertebrate and invertebrate counts, carbon assessments and soil condition data
Why work with us?
Full ecological support
We provide all the ecology work to support your planning application as well as the implementation and management of units.
Development background
Our team have extensive experience dealing with all commercial aspects of property development and planning policy.
Countrywide BNG units available
We have a countrywide network of landowners and can provide units wherever you require them.
Legally Binding
All BNG units are secured by legally binding Section 106 agreements or Conservation Covenants.
Simple Payments
Our payment structure is based on a deposit followed by a final payment on planning permission which then discharges your offsite BNG obligation to us.
ESG reporting
BNGP’s software platform, provides realtime access to all BNG habitat sites for your management reporting and ESG compliance needs.
How our process works: A six step approach
We encourage developers to consult us on their offsite requirements as early in the planning process as possible. This will make the process more efficient and reduce delays in gaining planning permission.
Submit
A developer submits an offsite requirement, including details of the site, number of units and timescales.
We identify an offset site
We identify an appropriate site through our countrywide network of landowners. We carry out all ecological work (if not already completed on the offset site).
Legals and Registration
Then we work through the complex legal process to secure the offset. Once the site is legally secured we submit the site to the Defra Register.
Payment
When the developers planning is approved, BNG Partnership is paid for the units and their BNG obligation is therefore discharged to us.
Habitat Implementation
We work with the landowner to create the habitat , funding all establishment works. We then oversee the site for the 30-year period ensuring the management plan is complied with and the habitat is developing as proposed.
Habitat Reporting
Stay up-to-date with your offset site using our software platform BeeNG. Our platform will provide you with access to habitat monitoring reports, species surveys and all the information you need for management and ESG reporting.
