Biodiversity Net Gain and Biodiversity Offsetting

Our expert knowledge of the Nature Recovery network in Gloucestershire means we are best placed to provide strategic advice on where habitat creation work can best deliver a gain for biodiversity – although onsite and local projects should always be prioritised. Where it is possible, we will support long-term planning by seeking incomes guaranteed for decades in the form of conservation covenants. We will look to support links with investors for large-scale land-use change for new habitat creation and supported by public sector or private sources.

We can explore opportunities with local planning authorities for biodiversity net gain and green infrastructure programmes. We can help developers with the assessment and production of biodiversity net gain plans or the calculation of a project’s biodiversity value pre and post-development.
