Balancing biodiversity gain and your bottom line

Navigating Biodiversity Net Gain legislation shouldn’t take up too much of your time, erode your profits or delay planning. Since 2023 we've helped hundreds of clients secure compliant off-site units at competitive prices, acting as their commercially focused BNG partner.

We work with developers, planning consultants and ecologists who want a fast response, straight talking partner who really understands Biodiversity Net Gain.

In 2025 we facilitated 11% of BNG unit market transactions, making up 18% of allocations on the Natural England register.

Our supply network covers 85% of the UK's habitat bank supply.

So wherever you are building we can quickly source a range of unit supply options from the whole of the market.

But we also solve harder problems: optimising designs to reduce unit costs, navigating complex planning conditions, and finding new solutions - all to save you money while meeting the requirements.

Market leading brokerage, built on expertise

BNG Certainty: The right units, at the right price, with zero hassle

BNG is just one of 25 things in your planning process - so you don’t need to become an expert in it.

This is what underpins our mission to give you “BNG Certainty”.

Clients tell us they have a partner who responds quickly, can defend proposals, and navigate complications without adding stress.

Rather than seeing BNG as a one-off transaction we prefer taking a long term approach, building trust over time through consistent delivery - giving you clarity, confidence and more certainty of a successful outcome.

"As a planning consultant working to get permission for clients, I always want to bring people into our teams who simplify processes and can speed up our route to dealing with increasingly complex policy and regulation. Biodiversity Units UK do this; it is a pleasure to work with them."

Charles Dunn
Director, Urbana

We published pricing reports before most people knew the market existed

That early insight gave us a detailed understanding of habitat bank economics, regional pricing variations, and which suppliers deliver.
The result? We know if you're overpaying.

“Sam and Nick are fantastic, they are helpful, the prices are competitive, and they are always a pleasure to deal with."

Get whole-of-market access without weeks of phoning around

Instead of spending time finding and talking to multiple suppliers, we give you vetted options in one clear report - within a week.

We show you what's available locally, what's most competitively priced, and what works with your timeline.

We've already done the legwork - mapping habitat banks, understanding Local Planning Authority preferences, and tracking new supply as it comes online across England.

You just review the options that matter and make an informed decision quickly. We can then ensure you have all the compliant paperwork, including Biodiversity Gain Plan, to successfully discharge your planning condition.

Our Matched Pricing offer ensures you pay the same whether you buy BNG units through us or by going directly.
