Unit Enquiry

“At BNG Partnership we go beyond the required monitoring and reporting. We gather additional data on offset sites including acoustic monitoring, vertebrate and invertebrate counts, carbon assessments and soil condition data. By delving deeper, we can show how the new habitats are improving biodiversity and the environment”

How our process works: A six step approach

  1. Submit

    A developer submits an offsite requirement, including details of the site, number of units and timesclales

  2. 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)

  3. 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

  4. Payment

    When the developers planning is approved, BNG Partnership is paid for the units and their BNG obligation is therefore discharged to us

  5. 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

  6. 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.
