Delivering high-integrity BNG solutions across Derbyshire
At Wild BNG, we make Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) simple, compliant, and ecologically impactful. As the expert consultancy arm of the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust, we strip away the complexity of the statutory metric to keep your projects moving forward.
We act as a trusted partner for developers, ecologists, and local authorities alike. We are here for open conversation, collaborative problem-solving, and providing gold-standard, local habitat banks that directly support Derbyshire’s nature recovery.
Developers
We provide a straightforward, cost-effective end-to-end service designed to protect your project timeline and your bottom line.
- Flexible Commercial Terms: We process metrics on your behalf and provide a formal unit quote valid for 30 days. To de-risk your project early and secure your cash flow, you can retain your required units with just a 10% deposit, with the remaining 90% balance due at planning discharge.
- Agile Plan Revisions: If your development layout or design plans change during the process, simply resend us your updated files. We will quickly calculate a fresh, up-to-date metric and provide an adjusted cost valuation.
- Zero 30-Year Liability: When you purchase off-site units through Wild BNG, your legal obligations end at the point of sale. We assume total legal and practical responsibility for managing and monitoring the habitat for the mandatory 30-year lifecycle.
- Gold-Standard PR: By funding local Derbyshire Wildlife Trust nature reserves, your project directly supports regional conservation. We help you showcase this impact, transforming a statutory requirement into powerful marketing that connects future tenants to nature and community.
