Biodiversity Net Gain and Net Benefit for Biodiversity

Practical biodiversity strategies integrated into construction and infrastructure delivery

EcoVigour supports clients in delivering Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) (England) and Net Benefit for Biodiversity (NNB) (Wales) outcomes that are practical, measurable, and aligned with real-world construction delivery.

We help integrate biodiversity requirements into infrastructure and development projects from the earliest stages, reducing compliance risk while creating workable enhancement strategies that fit operational environments. In Wales, we can assist with the development of practical Green Infrastructure Statements, which are proportionate and complementary to your project.

Why are BNG and NNB important?

Biodiversity enhancement requirements are now a significant consideration for many developments and infrastructure schemes. Effective early planning helps clients:

Meet statutory and planning requirements
Reduce redesign and programme risk
Improve planning outcomes
Deliver long-term ecological value
Integrate enhancement measures into construction delivery efficiently

Our approach

Practical enhancement measures designed for operational sites
Biodiversity considerations integrated into project delivery
