Secured delivery arrangements
Long-term funding and legal governance underpin every Habitat Bank, with our ecologists overseeing creation, management, monitoring and reporting for long-term planning compliance.
Biodiversity Net Gain
We are England’s leading Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) provider, with the largest network of Habitat Banks. Our purchase options flex around your timelines and funding, giving you unit and cost certainty from day one and the ecological integrity your planning consent depends on.
How we add value
Whether you are buying for a single scheme or planning supply across a pipeline, we will help you find the optimal route for your programme.
Biodiversity Units
Our Habitat Banks are fully compliant and strategically placed to supply units in line with national development demand, across all unit types. We offer multiple unit purchase options to work with your development plan and funding milestones, from a simple transaction to a phased drawdown agreement.
Long-term partnerships
We want to work with developers over the long term, not scheme by scheme. A developer partnership gives you improved commercials, bespoke contracting, a dedicated account manager and influence over our future unit supply. Our national supply frameworks offer our most favourable terms and brand benefits for those operating at scale.
Bespoke Habitat Banks
Where you need units in a specific location or habitat type, we can bring forward land for your project under a forward purchase agreement, either land we source or land you identify. We handle site selection, landowner engagement, land agreements and ecological design and can shape the Habitat Bank around wider environmental obligations and social value goals.
Providing BNG certainty
Flexible commercial terms
Reservation arrangements and agreed sell-back provisions let you adjust your Biodiversity Unit purchase as your development evolves, keeping it in line with your milestones and funding phases.
Dedicated BNG support
We help you understand the routes and commercial arrangements that best meet your needs and align with your development programme.
