BNG SEARCH GUIDE · UPDATED 26 JULY 2026

A practical guide for land, planning and unit decisions.

A unit should come with evidence: habitat type, location, metric output, legal security, HMMP and allocation route.

Units closer to the development and relevant to the local strategy can be more useful than distant generic supply.

Planning programmes need units available at the right time, not only in principle.

Creation difficulty, time to target condition and management obligations affect credibility.

The Natural England register and allocation evidence should be checked when relevant.

Early matching between developments and gain sites reduces planning risk and unit scarcity.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Developers can source units from legally secured habitat banks and gain sites with relevant available units.

Check the metric, location, habitat type, legal agreement, HMMP, registration status and allocation process.

No. Availability depends on local supply, habitat type, timing and demand.
