Biodiversity net gain
What is Biodiversity net gain (BNG)?
Biodiversity net gain is a law which makes sure development, like building houses or roads, has a measurably positive impact on biodiversity. The law states that developers are required to deliver a minimum BNG of 10%. To do this, they must make sure there is more and/or better quality natural habitat than there was before development. If they are unable to achieve this on their site, they can do so off-site on someone else's land by buying biodiversity units.

What does BNG mean for Heal?
For us, BNG is a funding opportunity. As a landowner dedicated to nature-recovery, we can become a 'biodiversity gain site' and be paid by developers for our rewilding work. The Heal Somerset site has a huge supply of units - over 600 - and we are now pursuing several pathways to developing a BNG income stream. If it proves to be a solid income stream, we can incorporate it into our blueprint for future sites.
