As part of our responsibilities as the responsible body for biodiversity net gain it is important to enter into legal agreements to provide the necessary certainty of securing habitat units from landowners which can then be used to provide off-site BNG where developers are unable to secure these on site.  

The agreement will ensure we have a bank of BNG units for developers to use, thereby facilitating development.
