The Future
The future of housing and construction with Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)
The concept of Biodiversity net gain (BNG) is set to revolutionise the way we approach housing and construction in the future. By prioritising the enhancement of biodiversity within development projects, we can ensure that new homes are not only sustainable but also contribute positively to the local environment. This approach to conservation will play a vital role in protecting and promoting wildlife habitats, creating more resilient and harmonious communities for both people and nature to thrive in. The integration of Biodiversity Net Gain into planning processes will undoubtedly shape a greener and more eco-friendly future for the housing and construction sector in the UK.
What is…
Biodiversity net gain (BNG)
Biodiversity net gain (BNG) is a government strategy aimed at ensuring that development projects contribute positively to the environment by enhancing biodiversity. Developers must achieve at least 10% biodiversity net gain (BNG) with each development. This may involve measures such as restoring habitats, creating green spaces, or implementing practices that support wildlife.
Kingwell sells Biodiversity net gain (BNG) units for developers to achieve BNG offsite.
Nutrient Neutrality?
Nutrient neutrality aims to balance the input and output of nutrients which is crucial in maintaining the health and sustainability of our ecosystems. Excess nutrients can lead to harmful algal blooms, oxygen depletion, and other negative impacts on waterways. Developers can offset potential nutrient pollution from new developments by buying Nutrient Neutrality Credits from Kingwell.
