For this residential redevelopment in Huntingdonshire, speed was critical and clarity mattered. Simon Richardson from GamPlan Associates said “BNG Partnership moved incredibly quickly and made what could have been a complicated process feel straightforward. Their speed, clarity and proactive communication helped us keep the project on track.”
Discharging BNG Planning Conditions
Here’s how we supported the project:
BNG Partnership supported a small-scale residential redevelopment at Howitts Lane, Eynesbury where an existing outbuilding was being demolished and replaced with a bungalow and associated development. The biodiversity requirement was modest, but speed was critical to ensure the planning condition could be discharged without delaying works.
Working within the same National Character Area, BNG Partnership sourced suitable units from our Boxworth site and handled the full process from agreement to documentation in just two weeks. The client received everything required to satisfy the local planning authority, enabling the project to proceed smoothly and on schedule.
Small schemes still require robust, policy-aligned BNG delivery, but they also demand efficiency.
Flexibility built on experience
BNG Partnership is a family company grounded in 4 generations of farming and land management. We own the majority of our sites, which gives us the freedom and experience to find the best options for smaller schemes very quickly using our unique analysis to find the most efficient options.
Our self-managed sites host a variety of habitat types, from traditional orchard to calcareous grassland, watercourses, hedgerows and everything in between. Their size and diversity has been strategically planned to suit the needs of almost all developments, while simultaneously creating sustainable habitats for the invertebrates and animals which form the foundation of our environment.
Technology protecting habitats for the future
We don’t see BNG as a tick-box exercise. While our decades of farming experience create a vital foundation for land management, we can’t deny that the world is changing. As a result, close monitoring is key to making sure our habitats live up to the promise of meeting or exceeding 10% biodiversity net gain to create BNG units for new developments.
We use technology on our sites to make our traditional farming methods more efficient without harming the environment we are creating. With the effects of climate change driving a need for different approaches to land management, our measurement systems show exactly what is working and what isn’t, setting up our sites for future growth.
Standing out from the BNG Unit Marketplace
In such a young industry, oversight and audits for biodiversity improvements are still immature. The landscape is shifting, and developers are realizing that not all units are created equal. Achieving a 10% biodiversity net gain is a 30-year commitment, which means the provider you choose today must still be committed three decades from now.
Why Quality Matters for Your Project
Our habitat banks are managed with integrity. We handle the complex reporting and monitoring requirements, ensuring that your project remains compliant with national policy. By choosing a partner with deep roots in land management, you aren't just ticking a box; you are investing in a verified natural asset that stands up to scrutiny.
Our goal is to simplify the process. We provide the transparency you need to satisfy local authorities and the ecological expertise to ensure those habitats thrive. This focus on quality is what allows our partners to move forward with total confidence.
Fast, Reliable Results for Every Development
Whether you are managing a small-scale redevelopment like the Howitts Lane project or a large-scale strategic site, the goal remains the same. You need a partner who can navigate the BNG unit marketplace with speed and total transparency.
As seen with GamPlan Associates, discharging BNG planning conditions doesn’t have to be a bottleneck. By providing clear documentation and policy-aligned units in just two weeks, we proved that even the tightest schedules can stay on track. We take the complexity out of the 10% biodiversity net gain requirement so that you can focus on building.
Integrity in this industry means more than just a transaction; it means ensuring your planning permission is secure and the environment is genuinely improved. If you need a straightforward, reliable route to compliance, we are ready to help you move forward.
