Overview

How to Simplify BNG, Stay Compliant, and Build Profitably on Small Sites You've just submitted your planning drawings, and your client drops a bomb: ""We need a 10% Biodiversity Net Gain-can you sort it?"" Or worse... You find out too late that the site was cleared before an ecologist got involved-and now the baseline's been wiped. Or maybe you've spent months on a clever design, only to be told it won't meet BNG requirements, and now your layout-and your fees-are on the chopping block. In today's planning world, this isn't your fault. The law changed fast. The Environment Act 2021 made 10% BNG mandatory, but small site guidance is vague, enforcement is patchy, and the rules favour large developments with land to spare. For architects working on sites with fewer than 12 units, it's all too easy to feel stuck. You juggle client pressure, planning constraints, and tight margins-while trying to decipher a habitat metric that reads like a spreadsheet from Mars. And yet, every decision-every hedge, every tree, every layout tweak-can make or break your project. This book shows you how to take back control: Discover the single biggest mistake architects make that ruins BNG scores-and how to avoid it from day one. Learn a step-by-step method to meet BNG targets without sacrificing density, design quality, or profit. Master the law, the metric, and the strategy to turn biodiversity from a burden into a planning and marketing advantage. You don't need to be an ecologist-you just need the right blueprint.
