Biodiversity Net Gain Assessment

---

At Ecology Consulting Ltd, we specialise in delivering Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) Assessments that ensure developments contribute positively to the natural environment. With sustainability at the forefront of modern planning, our expert ecological consultants provide tailored BNG solutions that help developers meet regulatory requirements while enhancing local ecosystems. 

What is Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)?

By assessing and quantifying biodiversity losses and gains, BNG integrates habitat creation, ecological enhancement, and long-term conservation planning into projects.
