Unlocking the Full Potential of Your Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) Site

The transition to a future where development and nature can coexist has never been more important. Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) provides landowners with an opportunity to contribute to this vision while unlocking the value of their land. However, the journey from preparing a site to selling BNG units requires careful planning, expertise, and the right partners to guide you through the process.


At Habitat Vault, we specialise in simplifying the complexities of BNG registration and connecting landowners to the market. Whether you’ve been on your own BNG journey—conducting ecological surveys, drafting Habitat Management and Monitoring Plans, and preparing Design Stage Reports—or are looking for guidance to complete the next steps, we’re here to help.


The Challenges of BNG Registration

For many landowners, registering their land for BNG is a significant hurdle. The process involves navigating evolving standards, liaising with Responsible Bodies, and meeting the requirements for long-term site management and monitoring. Unfortunately, Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) often lack the resources or readiness to provide clear guidance, leaving landowners with uncertainty over timelines and costs.

That’s where we come in.


A Unique Approach to Registration

Habitat Vault has developed a streamlined solution for landowners looking to register their sites and sell BNG units. Through our partnership with RSK Biocensus, a Defra-appointed Responsible Body, we offer an efficient registration process using a Conservation Covenant. This approach eliminates many of the delays and uncertainties associated with traditional methods.


Our model is designed to future-proof your site and ensure compliance with emerging BNG standards while keeping the current process as straightforward as possible. Acting now means you can secure the benefits of today’s more flexible requirements, avoiding the likely increased obligations as BNG matures.


Reliable Expertise and Market Access

Once your site is registered, Habitat Vault doesn’t just stop there. We serve as your trusted partner in connecting you with developers seeking BNG units. Our expertise ensures that your units are marketed effectively, securing the best value for your land while meeting all regulatory requirements.


We also collaborate with experienced legal partners like BDB Pitmans, who have an established track record of working on Conservation Covenants and BNG projects. Their involvement ensures a streamlined legal process, saving you time and effort while providing peace of mind that every detail is handled professionally.


Why Act Now?

The BNG market is rapidly evolving, and opportunities exist for landowners to position themselves as early leaders in this emerging sector. With Habitat Vault, you can benefit from:

  • Simplified registration through our partnership with RSK Biocensus.

  • Expert guidance every step of the way, from registration to unit sales.

  • Access to developers seeking high-quality BNG units.

If you’ve already made progress on your BNG journey, now is the time to take the final steps and ensure your site is registered and ready to unlock its full potential.
