Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) 

Ground Control has been creating and restoring habitats at two major nature recovery sites and habitat banks since 2021 to support Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) unit sales across England.

We transform land at scale into high-quality, biodiverse habitats, including woodlands, scrub, ponds, hedgerows and species-rich grasslands, delivering measurable biodiversity outcomes. In line with the Environment Act 2021, Ground Control offers off-site BNG units to support the legal requirement for developments in England to deliver a minimum 10% biodiversity net gain. Our BNG units are available to purchase for developments of any size or sector, providing a compliant solution where on-site delivery is not achievable or viable.

For clients seeking to deliver BNG on site, our in-house ecology teams also provide end-to-end professional support, from baseline assessment through to long-term delivery.

Our BNG services include:

• BNG Units (Off-Site) from registered habitat banks
• Biodiversity Baseline Surveys and Habitat Condition Assessments
• Habitat Management and Monitoring Plans (HMMPs)
• On-site Habitat Creation and Habitat Bank Modelling

Ground Control combines ecological expertise, long-term land management and regulatory compliance to deliver trusted, high-integrity BNG unit solutions for developers, landowners and local planning authorities.
