BNG for Local Planning Authorities

We work with local authorities and other strategic bodies that operate on a landscape scale to develop Natural Capital strategies. We can:

• Carry out opportunity mapping to determine priority areas to target for nature restoration, with consideration for biodiversity, accessible greenspace, species recovery, air quality and pollution.
• Create digital resources such as interactive web maps to display outputs.
• Provide consultation for Local Plan development to advise on how BNG regulations can be implemented effectively at a local scale to deliver wider aims and act as a mechanism to deliver important Green Infrastructure.
• Deliver bespoke training for Planning Officers on how to interpret and implement BNG in the planning process.
• Carry out feasibility assessments of Council landholdings to determine BNG, Carbon, and Nutrient Neutrality potential. (see services for landowners above for more details)
