Who the BNG Tool is For
Automated Completion of the Small Site Metric
- Simply by drawing habitats on the map, our tool will automatically complete the small-site biodiversity net gain metric for you.
- You can also experiment with different habitats and see in real time how you can abide by the 10% biodiversity net gain.
- Our built in biodiversity gain plan tool lets you complete the bng report and download the pdf for free.
- While our built in biodiversity survey tool will detect priority habitats and designated sites within and nearby your redline boundary.
How much profit can your land generate you from biodiversity?
- See which habitats on your land are of low value and how you can replace them with more valuable habitats.
- Experimentally draw new habitats to maximize biodiversity credits your land can generate.
- We will give you completed, planning ready biodiversity metrics ready to be sent off to your Local Planning Authority.
- Even without creating new habitats you can use our tool to gain credits by enhancing your existing habitats.
- becoming a biodiversity provider has never been so easy. Try our tool today for free.
Automated Completion of the Large Site Metric
- By mapping out habitats across your development area, our tool will automatically complete the large-site biodiversity net gain metric for you.
- Test alternative layouts, habitat mixes, and enhancements to understand how your project can achieve and exceed the 10% biodiversity net gain requirement.
- Our built-in biodiversity gain strategy tool helps you prepare comprehensive BNG plans, generate impact assessments, and download necessary reports in PDF format.
- The integrated biodiversity survey tool highlights priority habitats, designated sites, and ecological constraints across large, complex boundaries.
- Experiment with compensating for lost habitat loss on site, without the need to purchase off-site credits
How It Works
Four quick steps from site sketch to downloadable metric.
Step 1
BoundarySelect or draw your red line boundary on the map to set the project extent.
Step 2
Existing HabitatsDraw or Smart Select the habitats that are already present on your site. Choose types from a guided list and view the biodiversity value of each.
Step 3
Proposed HabitatsAdd the habitats you intend to create or enhance. We'll calculate biodivesity units and changes automatically in the background. You can also experiment with multiple drafts.
Step 4: That’s it!
Review the biodiversity units you've created, if you're happy download your completed biodiversity net gain metric.
if you need a BNG plan, use the built in BNG Plan tool
Key Features - Measure Biodiversity With Ease
Create or enhance habitats and see how many credits each is worth
- Draw habitats on your site to see how many biodiversity units each is worth
- Replace or enhance low value habitats to maximise biodiversity net gain
- Each habitat has a distinctiveness value and is labelled in the tool
Complete the biodiversity metric by drawing habitats on our map
- Instead of measuring distances and inputting into the excel manually, simply draw your habitats on the map
- The biodiversity net gain metric will be automatically completed for you and free to download
- The tool handles all of your planning needs including with the built in biodiversity gain plan tool
Built In Trading Rule Violation Detection
- There are many rules when it comes to habitat loss, including which habitats must replace removed habitats.
- Our tool alerts you if you have violated any trading rules and shows you how to compensate.
- The tool will also detect priority and irreplaceable habitats with the built in biodiversity survey tool
