LANDOWNERS
If you own land in England, we can help you maximise its value and generate long-term income through BNG habitat banking.
✓ Create a habitat bank on your land
✓ Generate sustainable long-term income
✓ Maximise land value
✓ End-to-end project delivery
We partner with landowners to create habitat banks, generate biodiversity units and establish diverse habitats. We market the units and find buyers, including through our network, helping landowners secure a sustainable source of long-term income.
What does BNG mean for landowners?
BNG habitat banking is a growing opportunity for landowners.
By creating or enhancing habitats on your land, you can create a 'habitat bank' which generates biodiversity units to sell to developers who need to meet their environmental obligations.
We can work alongside you through every stage of the process, from initial site assessment and designing your habitat bank to habitat creation and long-term management, ensuring you meet legal requirements while maximising the value and potential of your land.
How we work with landowners
We offer a joined-up approach to BNG strategies and the delivery of habitat banks for sustainable long-term income.
We offer a full range of services - from initial feasibility and habitat bank design through to securing legal agreements, identifying potential buyers for your biodiversity units, working with you to deliver habitat creation and enhancement works, and providing long-term management and monitoring.
Throughout the process, we work closely with you to maximise the value and ecological potential of your land to establish a compliant and commercially viable habitat bank.
Our goal is to make the process straightforward and coordinated, ensuring that environmental and commercial goals work together.
What is a habitat bank?
A habitat bank is land that is being managed to protect, create and enhance biodiversity.
This generates biodiversity units which can be sold to developers or organisations that need to offset the loss of biodiversity on their sites to meet Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) requirements.
Habitat banks provide a reliable way to deliver measurable biodiversity improvements and create long-term income from land.
The habitat banking process
We use our multidisciplinary expertise to offer a fully integrated joined-up approach to the design and implementation of BNG for your land.
We work with landowners at every stage of the BNG process, from initial feasibility, ecology surveys and overall strategy to legal requirements, sale of units, habitat creation and long-term monitoring and reporting of habitat works.
