Biodiversity Net Gain Planting Services

In England, new Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) legislation under the UK Environment Act 2021 requires that new developments deliver at least a 10% increase in biodiversity compared to pre-development. This can be achieved by enhancing existing habitats or creating new ones to compensate for any biodiversity loss caused by construction or land use changes, ensuring that the natural environment affected is left in a measurably better state than before.

Whether you’re working on a new property development or are an existing development looking to demonstrate a commitment to corporate social responsibility, our biodiversity net gain planting services can help you hit your sustainability goals and maintain ecological compliance.

SPA Landscaping’s Biodiversity Net Gain planting services

One of the most effective ways to achieve BNG is through planting, which involves the strategic planting of native trees, hedgerows, wildflower meadows, aquatic vegetation and various other approaches. These habitats provide essential food and shelter for pollinators, birds and other wildlife, while also improving air quality, managing flood risks and increasing carbon capture.

 

Here are some of the BNG planting services we provide:

  • Woodland and Tree Planting: Establishing or restoring native woodlands, hedgerows and urban trees to provide habitat and carbon storage
  • Wildflower Meadows: Creating grasslands rich in native plant species to support pollinators and insects
  • Wetlands and Ponds: Constructing new ponds or restoring degraded wetlands to attract amphibians, birds and invertebrates
  • Green Roofs and Walls: Installing vegetated roofs or living walls on buildings to provide microhabitats and absorb rainwater
