OUR SIMPLE PROCESS

Under the Environment Act 2021, all developments in England must deliver a minimum of 10% uplift in biodiversity to meet planning requirements. However, new legislation can be complicated. We’re here to help developers with a straightforward solution.

Failure to comply with BNG requirements may lead to delays or the rejection of planning applications. As one of the first providers of offsite BNG in the South West, we can enable early engagement in the planning process with a purchase agreement and our 30-year management plan.

If you are interested in purchasing BNG but do not know where to start; follow our four steps.

1. SUBMIT YOUR REQUEST

Complete our quick form to share your project details and BNG requirements. We will review your ecology report and arrange a meeting to understand your needs if required.

2. Review and Agreement

3. Reserve your units

Pay a deposit to secure your BNG units.

We will provide:

– A purchase agreement

– A copy of the 30-year Habitat Management & Monitoring Plan (HMMP)

– A letter of support for the application[1].

[1] Under the Environment Act 2023 evidence of BNG offset is mandatory from February 2024 for all planning applications


4. Final Approval, Allocation and certificate

Following planning approval and final payment, we allocate the required BNG units on the register to your development to create a BNG certificate. Belmont takes full responsibility for long-term delivery, monitoring and compliance.
