Market-leading BNG CPD that builds stronger development decisions

Biofarm delivers BNG CPD training to the team at Newland Homes

Last week, we delivered another tailored virtual Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) Continuing Professional Development (CPD) session with Newland Homes, focused on the practical decisions that shape outcomes early in the planning process. 

The discussion covered where BNG creates pressure within the planning timeline, common issues that lead to delay or additional cost, balancing on-site delivery with viability, and how the off-site market is evolving. The session also included project-specific discussion around live schemes and team priorities. 

The feedback reflected something we hear often across the sector: developers want straightforward, commercially grounded guidance that helps them make better decisions early on. 

Our free BNG Continuing Professional Development sessions are designed for developers navigating an increasingly complex planning landscape. Delivered virtually and tailored to each business, the sessions are intended to strengthen understanding across teams and bring greater clarity to early-stage decision making. 

Built for real projects, not theory

Our sessions focus on the issues that matter in practice, including: 

– What mandatory BNG means today 
– Where BNG fits within the planning process 
– Common pitfalls that can lead to delay or additional cost 
– Balancing on-site delivery with risk and viability 
– How off-site BNG markets are evolving 
– Tailored discussion around live schemes and project priorities 

The result is better informed teams, stronger early-stage strategy, and greater confidence across the development pipeline. 

What attendees said

“Biofarm kindly provided an online CPD Seminar on Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG). The structure, content and insight provided was invaluable and enabled those with limited knowledge on the subject to quickly become acquainted.Investing in understanding BNG and how it will shape property developers approach to future projects - from feasibility through to construction and beyond - is one that will continue to pay dividends.A special thank you to both Chris and Louise for their time to prepare, deliver the presentation and for accommodating Q&As at the end.”
