Our Story
Joe's Blooms was founded in 2022 to help planning applicants comply with the new 'Biodiversity Net Gain' regulations and improve biodiversity across England
The Government has introduced a new ‘Biodiversity Net Gain’ regime to increase biodiversity across the country. These new rules will require most new planning applications to complete a statutorily compliant ‘Biodiversity Gain Plan’ (BGP).
These plans are mandated by law and include pre-development biodiversity scores calculated in line with Natural England's 'Biodiversity Metric', and set out how development will achieve a 10% increase in each biodiversity score.
- There is particular concern for the estimated 35,000 small developers who will need to comply with these regulations.
- Estimates from independent experts suggest that traditional solutions will cost small developments around £2,000 per planning application.
Joe’s Blooms exists to solve these problems via a very fast, cost-effective online platform that provides planning applicants with a complete and easy-to-use end-to-end solution for producing BGPs in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost.
