Biodiversity Net Gain is now a required part of the planning process for most developments in Tamworth. The principle is straightforward: proposals must show that the site will deliver a measurable improvement in biodiversity compared with its current condition. Tamworth Borough Council may not validate applications without clear and well-structured BNG evidence, and missing information frequently results in delays during later planning stages.
Planning officers in Tamworth often request BNG information where development may influence important habitat corridors or fragmented greenspace. Common examples include:
Accurate and clearly presented BNG information helps avoid validation issues and keeps applications moving.
We support projects across Tamworth, covering neighbourhoods such as the town centre, Glascote, Belgrave, Amington, Stonydelph, Bolehall, Wilnecote and the surrounding communities within the borough boundary.
Tamworth Borough Council expects Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) evidence to be provided early in the planning process so they can be confident your proposal will meet the mandatory 10% uplift requirement. Establishing a verified baseline, applying a transparent and defensible Biodiversity Metric, and setting out a clear, deliverable route for securing the gain are all essential steps. This approach ensures alignment with national policy, reduces the risk of delays or objections, and provides a robust ecological position to support your planning application.
