How much does the BNG Dashboard cost?
£30 per user per month under the "Professional Subscription" - if interested, contact sales@thelandapp.com
What version of Natural England's Biodiversity Net Gain Metric does it use?
The current version is BNG 4.0
Why is my data not showing in my dashboard?
There are a couple of reasons that data may not be showing in your dashboard.
Are you using a Baseline Habitat Assessment Template for the Baseline, and the "Land Management Plan" Template for the Future Scenario? You need to at least have a Baseline for units to generate.
Are both of these layers "published"? Only published layers get pulled to the dashboard. For guidance, see here.
Are all the UKHab codes on your two plans (Baseline Habitat Assessment + Land Management Plan) BNG-eligible codes? See the full list of eligible codes here.
A common error is leaving the UKHab codes a "g - grassland" or "w1 - broadleaf woodland". These need to be further allocated, such as "g4 - modified grassland", "g3c - other neutral grassland" or "w1h - Other woodland; mixed"
To do this on-bulk, you can "Select-all" and "Change feature type" following this guidance.
Common Codes NOT eligible:
Example of ELIGIBLE codes:
How often does the dashboard update?
At present, the dashboard will refresh every ~2 hours but may take longer when the service is busy.
For full guidance in preparing your data for BNG Assessment, see the bottom of this guidance.
