Through a deep dive into Natural England’s archival publications, we uncovered the long, and often overlooked, history behind these important geographical boundaries. While BNG may feel new, the thinking behind it isn’t. Instead, it represents the latest chapter in a decades-long effort to restore nature at the scale shaped by its underlying natural and

This week, we had the pleasure of visiting our Fir Tree Farm Habitat Bank in County Durham and were even treated to a rare sunny day! The site currently consists of enclosed farmland, a mix of improved and neutral grassland, a stream, and a small pocket of woodland, all soon to be enhanced through targeted habitat creation.  With work set to begin shortly after the holiday break, here’s a look at what’s coming next:  Our Key Plans: • Expansion of 5 existing hedgerows into 10

Here at BioMark, we’re keeping a close eye on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill. With its final stages approaching, proposed legislation promises faster development, but also raises important questions about environmental protection.

This week, we’re exploring the surprising potential of “poor” soil. While often overlooked, low-quality soils can offer unique advantages for landowners and developers, especially when it comes to biodiversity and natural capital opportunities.

Exciting changes are coming to this site in North Yorkshire, where we’ll be transforming underused land into high-value habitats. With Tunstall Farm's five distinct parcels, we’ll create species-rich neutral grassland, new native hedgerows, mixed scrub, and broad-leaved woodland, replacing areas of bare ground, modified grassland, cereal crops, and bramble scrub. We can't wait to see this landscape flourish in the months ahead! Explore our available BNG units:

Stay tuned this summer as we begin to transform this site in County Durham from depleted grassland into a thriving mosaic of diverse habitats!

A question we often get: “If I am buying off-site BNG units, do I need a Section 106?” The answer is no. Here’s why. A Section 106 agreement (S106) is a legal contract between a developer and the local planning authority (LPA) . A Section 106 (or Conservation Covenant) is only required when developers deliver BNG on-site , ensuring they legally commit to maintaining the biodiversity improvements for 30 years. If you're the developer, this means: You are responsible for creat
