WHAT WE DO

- Support Landowners to deliver the Biodiversity Scheme for the required 30 year period
BD Plus provides bespoke off-site BNG units for Developers within their development’s LPA. Founded in 2023 ahead of the January 2024 planning regulation changes that require developments to achieve a minimum 10% increase in biodiversity compared to the pre-construction condition of the development site.
BD Plus understands the strategic requirements of Local Planning Authorities and works with Developers and Landowners to meet their Biodiversity Unit needs.
BD Plus has a nationwide reach accredited to its’ national bank of Landowners, meaning that it can find a local offset site for any development, regardless of its’ location. This is especially important for developers who are concerned about the Spatial Risk Multiplier, which is a factor that is used to calculate the number of Biodiversity Units required for a development.
