Really helpful company to use
Really helpful company to use. My enquiry was spread over a long period sue to my time constraints. however, they replied promptly every time I got in touch and went above and beyond to help me through this Biodiversity issue.
Brilliant experience
I had a fantastic experience working with this company on my Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) requirements. I was really pleased to find that this is a family-run business. It made the whole experience feel much more personal, and nothing ever seemed too much trouble.
Shelly was absolutely brilliant throughout the process. She was incredibly responsive, always happy to answer questions, and took the time to explain everything clearly. We spoke on the phone several times, and her guidance helped me understand the BNG process much better and complete the report with confidence.
I came across the company through a recommendation on the Planning Portal, and I'm very pleased that I did. They saved me a significant amount of money compared to hiring an external consultant, whilst still providing excellent support and expertise.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing assistance with BNG reports or planning applications. Professional, knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely helpful from start to finish.
Worst tool ever AVOID,AVOID
Hard to use, slow, no easy delete button, cluttered screen , poor instructions , very hard to amend
payment requirement deceptive - not told you have a choice not to pay , felt tricked . Poor detail, do all the work yourself , basic report, poor graphics

Oliver Lewis from BNG was very kind
Oliver Lewis from BNG was very kind and patient in guiding me to filling planning application of Biodiversity section. He took away all my worries and provide excellent assistance over the phone.
I am very grateful to him.
Excellent service
Excellent service. Oliver really helped make the process as smooth as possible. I went through the planning portal with little experience and I managed to utilise the easy to understand instructions on the joes Bloom website/app. It would be nice if the entire planning process was as easy and straightforward as the net bio side of it.
Knowledgeable and reassuring
My initial total bewilderment over a biodiversity statement for a planning application was swiftly dispatched in a knowledgeable, reassuring and friendly manner. Everyone should have an Oliver on speed dial. Thank you so much for your expert help.
Incredibly helpful and would highly recommend
Incredibly helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The software was very easy to use, but the after support could not have been better - would highly recommend.

Blooms are very helpful at resolving local authority queries and ensuring that the trading rules are met. I would strongly recommend any non-ecologists trying to submit a planning application in a timely manner to use the BN|G tool

Having found the council online planning application process a complete minefield, Joe's Blooms recognised that I was clearly having trouble and called to offer assistance.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Joe's blooms. It takes you through a complicated and technical area in a straightforward way with plenty of guidance. The software works efficiently and the after service from Oliver is quick and responsive.

Oliver did exactly what we needed!

Would definitely use again if needed!
