Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is mandatory for most developments in England starting from 2024, requiring projects to enhance the natural environment. Despite its legal status, public awareness of BNG is alarmingly low, averaging just 3.1 out of 10. This poses challenges for homeowners and small builders who assume BNG only pertains to larger developers. On the other hand, there are notable opportunities for landowners, including revenue generation from rewilding projects and diversification of income through BNG investments. The forecast for the demand for BNG units shows a market value projected at £3 billion by 2035.
"It is a revenue stream I had not anticipated when we started our 'rewilding' project."
"It has enabled farmers and landowners to diversify their income streams. Alternative revenue streams from non-productive land."
