Biodiversity Net Gain Calculation & Report

We are dedicated to providing fast, competitively priced Biodiversity Net Gain calculations, reports and mitigation proposals for planning applications.   This service is provided nationwide.

As a part of UK legislation, Biodiversity Net Gain has become a mandatory requirement for most development projects. It is a policy requirement of planning consent, and so has a significant impact on the decision-making process of local planning authorities as they determine whether planning permissions are granted or refused.

Our ecology consultants will calculate the biodiversity of the existing site and propose the best way to meet the minimum 10% gain required. Through their experience and professional knowledge, our ecologists will ensure that your proposal is compliant with the law and this maximises your chances of your development being planning permission approved.  

Using the Biodiversity Net Gain Metric requires training and experience, and is an essential part of the requirement of the planning submission to the Local Planning Authority.   

Our Team have a breadth of knowledge and experience to ensure your planning application is validated, and then provides sufficient information to meet the Local Authority requirements for BNG.

Preliminary Ecological Appraisals 

Essential ecological data for developers looking to develop land or property.

Our nationwide service provides surveys which include:

  • Information about the site and surrounding area, identifying the type of habitats and species likely to be present, and contextual information about the setting of the site within the landscape. 
  • Determination of designated nature conservation sites within the site and site setting.
  • Review of the existing records of protected or priority species.
  • Review of the existing information on the habitat types within the site and the surrounding area. 
  • Identification and quantification of any protected or priority habitats or species on the site and its setting.

Tree Surveys

We undertake Arboriculture Consultancy nationwide. 

Some of the tree consultancy services we offer are as follows:

 

  • Surveys for planning permission.  Including plotting of trees onto a site plan, recording species and general form and health, and drawing up proposals to protect the trees and roots both during construction works and for the finished scheme.
  • Applications to your Local Authority for works to trees with Tree Preservation Orders or trees within conservation areas.  This can include method statements, where required.
  • Creation of woodlands including a review of the unique features of your site, recommendation for selection of tree species and advice on planting and maintaining the trees.
