Today we want to talk to you about #EarlySiteClearance and the potential negative impact this can have on BNG calculations and requirements. 🌳 Developers are often eager to break ground, the shorter the development timeline, the healthier the cash flow. 📈 We get it. However, in the new era of #BNG, we are seeing costly 💰 and timely 📅 impacts for developers who do not undertake the correct and required surveys and assessments ahead of moving the big machinery in. Often causing delays and costing up to 3x the required amount for BNG mitigation as a result of regulatory standards. We explain more in our blog, and how developers can avoid these mistakes below ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/en-zeSZT If you feel like you could benefit from some support from our team, please reach out to our experts. 🌱Jack Potter 📈 Ben Perry 🏗️ Toby Peters BNG is already proving a challenge, let's not make it more difficult. #BNG #NN #BiodiversityNetGain #Mitigation #BreakingGround

Last week Jack Potter was invited as the keynote speaker at the CWA (Constructed Wetland Association) conference, hosted in Norfolk at the Ingoldisthorpe constructed wetland - the first of its kind in England, containing a private wetland providing tertiary treatment for a waste water treatment works. Apart from it being a great opportunity to get some fresh Norfolk air, the conference was packed full of information and a tour of the wetland site. Some of the highlights, and special thanks to: 🌱 Jonah Tosney from Norfolk Rivers Trust who provided an overview of the history of the wetland, so that we can learn and replicate this amazing outcome for water quality and nature. 💧 Dr Steven Spall from Severn Trent, mainly for his endless pirate jokes, but also for identifying that there should be a wider exemption from BNG for projects specifically to deliver a nature based solution – clearly a legislative oversight. 🌳 Lorraine Isgar from Wessex Water, who took us on a tortuous planning journey for a mega wetland in the Somerset Levels, and how BNG outcomes were not necessarily intuitive which resulted in the use of Rule 4 in the BNG guidance (I.e. substitute rules for logic). It was a privilege for Jack to be invited to give the keynote on Green Finance 💰 and share the day with an amazing group, full of knowledge. What do you think is important in the discussion of wetlands and BNG?

🚀 Spotlight on Our Founder & Partner: Ben Perry! 🚀 We’re excited to introduce one of our Founding Partners, Ben Perry. With 15 years' experience in company leadership and finance, Ben is responsible for capital raising, investment allocation, and business strategy. 📈 Ben was previously Founder/CEO at SA Systems, a distributed manufacturing tech company. Under his leadership, SA Systems secured major FTSE 100, CAC 40 and fintech clients, and partnerships with companies including Google, Entrust and Heathrow Airport. Ben has successfully raised significant capital from a range of investors including Private Equity, Venture Capital, direct institutional capital (listed and private) and UHNWs, serving and observing on multiple boards. He started his career at Barclays Bank before becoming Operations Director at Spotless Group. He managed a fleet of ice cream boats during summer breaks while he studied at Exeter University Business School. Ben says “I’m so excited to prove that you can generate very compelling financial returns while delivering extraordinary outcomes for nature. Our first institutionally backed fund is well on its way to doing this. I firmly believe that our early success is because we offer a market-leading high-integrity product, via financial terms that fairly spread risk and work with our clients' traditional planning and development financing. This is well proven as our first cohort of clients include Central UK Government, FTSE 100 housebuilders, and local councils. Success is crucial to me as I'm determined my two young girls will get to live in the security of a healthy natural world.” #FounderSpotlight #Investment #Finance #CompanyLeadership #RealEstate #TechInvestment #StrategicGrowth #FinancialExpertise #BNG #BiodiversityNetGain
