Designing Nature's Legacy

Unlocking Opportunities with Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)

20th February 25

We’re excited to invite you to a webinar exploring how architects can turn Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) requirements into opportunities to elevate their designs, safeguard planning requirements, and deliver exceptional client outcomes.

With England’s Environment Act 2021 mandating a 10% net biodiversity gain, integrating these requirements from the conceptual phase offers architects a unique opportunity to gain a design edge. By demonstrating an intimate understanding of the process, architects can create designs that seamlessly balance the needs of clients, planners, and nature. 

Our webinar will guide you through the background behind the legislation, what it means in practice, and how balancing on-site biodiversity enhancements with high-integrity off-site units can be an effective approach to meeting obligations, without compromising your vision.

Key Topics:

• Demystifying BNG; what the legislation is seeking to achieve and how to embed it into the concept phase.

• The contours of design; minimising planning risks while safeguarding costs and client needs.

• Harmonising delivery; when and how to use off-site habitat units to optimise design.

• 20 min Q&A session

Join us to explore how embracing BNG can set your designs apart, creating smarter solutions that benefit clients, planners, and the environment.
