Experienced in plant and grass identification, Rachel is a competent person able to undertake small-site BNG calculations for sites across England.
Using government-approved templates and software, she can provide prompt BNG calculations for qualifying sites of 1 to 9 dwellings between 0.2 and 0.5 hectares.
We will carry out a site visit to assess and record the baseline habitat and BNG score, then prepare a site plan designed to achieve the mandatory 10% uplift.
This will help inform the proposed landscape design and confirm the number of offsite units required for credit purchase.
We provide fully local authority-compliant small-site BNG metric baseline scores and habitat plans to support the mandatory 10% uplift, whether delivered onsite or offsite.
The August 2026 legislative changes will allow all qualifying small sites to proceed directly with offsite credit purchase.

With the new BNG small site legislation now a year old, Rachel with experience in plant and grass identification is now a competent person to undertake small site BNG calculations at sites across England.
Together with 24 years experience of designing and building gardens, 11 years specialising in planning landscape discharge drawings and extensive plant knowledge she can offer the mandatory calculations required for the new small sites BNG requirements.
