Landowners
Landowners have a unique opportunity to diversify their income by creating habitat banks, providing BNG units to an ever-growing market!
It is a mandatory requirement for developers to ensure at least 10% improvement to biodiversity in order to meet their obligations under the Environment Act 2021.
The value of each BNG Unit created will vary, but prices of £40,000+ per BNG Unit have been achieved, with the national average thought to be in the regions of £25,000 - £35,000 as of the February 2024 implementation date.
There are costs to BNG Unit creation, registration, and sales; nevertheless, there is significant income potential.
What We're Looking For
We have set up habitat banks across the country and are looking for landowners keen to diversify their income while making a difference to our biodiversity.
