Frequently asked questions

What are the Biodiversity Net Gain requirements in England?
Mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) requires most new developments in England to deliver a measurable 10 per cent net gain in biodiversity value over the baseline recorded before development, evidenced using the statutory biodiversity metric.
How does the statutory biodiversity metric work?
The statutory biodiversity metric quantifies habitat distinctiveness, condition, and size into biodiversity units; the difference between the baseline total and the figure projected after development must be at least 10 per cent in favour of the latter.
What are the survey requirements for protected species in the UK?
A protected species survey must be carried out by a suitably qualified ecologist, follow Natural England and CIEEM methodology guidance for the species concerned, and be current (typically within two years, though this varies by species and site conditions) at the point of planning determination.
What are the CIEEM report standards for ecological surveys?
CIEEM requires that ecological reports are accurate, reproducible, and prepared to a standard a competent reviewer could verify; reports must state the author's qualifications, the survey methodology, data limitations, and the professional judgement applied.
What must a preliminary ecological appraisal cover?
A preliminary ecological appraisal (PEA) must assess the potential for habitats and species of conservation concern to be present, conclude whether further survey is needed before planning determination, and be current and specific to the site — it cannot be a desktop exercise alone.
What records must ecologists keep for BNG and planning submissions?
Ecologists must retain the raw survey data, metric calculations, report drafts, and correspondence with the planning authority for the duration of any associated planning permission and monitoring obligation, which for mandatory BNG is at least 30 years from completion of habitat works.
