Navigate biodiversity net gain with ease

Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) can feel like a constraint to your development, but it doesn’t have to be.

By working closely with ecological experts, you can identify biodiversity improvements and put a plan in place to achieve a 10% net gain. Make sure your project complies with BNG regulations while benefiting from improved sustainability and a positive reputation. Learn how Tyler Grange’s CIEEM-certified ecology team can help you handle BNG to achieve greener, more responsible development success.

Before your development begins, we follow these steps to survey the area, record habitat types and calculate the potential net biodiversity gain:

1. Data collection: Our team conducts site visits to collect data on species, populations, and habitat quality. This forms a ‘baseline’ against which changes resulting from the development can be measured.

2. Landscape plan analysis: We determine the post-development habitat data based on the provided landscape plans. This provides an estimate of the expected habitat conditions post-development.

3. Information storage: We organise and store the collected habitat data from both pre and post-development stages in a spreadsheet for easy reference and analysis.

4. Calculations: We compare the pre-development baseline with the estimated post-development conditions. This allows the calculation of the potential net biodiversity gain or loss, giving a starting point for planning strategies to achieve a target 10% BNG.

 By giving you a measurable figure, we make it easy for you to grasp the potential impact of your development on local biodiversity. This useful information helps you make informed choices about minimising negative impacts and boosting the environment.  

We collaborate with you to help you achieve a net gain for your site according to your management plan. For example, we may facilitate connections between you and private landowners if creating new habitats off-site is necessary to achieve the 10% BNG target. 

Plus, we’ll regularly check in on your progress by visiting the site and reviewing the measures you’ve put into place. We want to make sure everything’s working as it should to boost biodiversity. If things aren’t quite on track, no problem. We’re here to offer advice and help you figure out the best steps to get your project back on course and meet your biodiversity goals.

Proactively planning for a Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) with our accredited ecology team smooths your project’s journey. We help you early on to understand any potential biodiversity losses, enabling proactive solutions rather than reactive adjustments later in the process. We may even connect you with providers for off-site solutions right away. 

This foresight benefits nature while enhancing your project’s success. Fulfil regulatory needs without surprises, strengthen your Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) credentials, and make your development more appealing to investors and the public.
