Biodiversity & natural capital
England's biodiversity net gain market tripled in twelve months to an estimated £93m across 197 registered gain sites, and mandatory BNG extends to Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects from 2 November 2026. Off-site units must sit on a public register, so supply is enumerable — rare in a young market.
What is in the layer
Habitat banks and registered off-site gain sites, habitat baseline, nature recovery priorities, protected sites, tree canopy.
Who it is for
Developers with off-site obligations, landowners and habitat bank operators, NSIP promoters.
Status. Each domain carries its own data, independent of the city assessments. Where a source is wired the map is live; otherwise the layers are specified and the ingest is still to build.
