Environment Bank
Environment Bank is a trusted national brand with secure BNG solutions to offer developers a clean break from all liabilities. Delivering gains for nature across England, EB provide nationwide access to high-integrity off-site Biodiversity Units.
Since the Environment Act 2021 passed, EB has been hard at work creating a national network of Habitat Banks – generating the off-site Biodiversity Units required by developers to satisfy their stringent BNG planning requirements.
Designed by leading ecologists, these award-winning Habitat Banks deliver the best possible outcomes for nature off-site – making on-site green spaces available to use for amenities designed with people in mind.
Not only fulfilling BNG legislation, EB’s Habitat Banks support local nature recovery strategies, job creation, sustainable development, and the cultivation of thousands of acres of green space for communities to enjoy.
