From February 2024 the 10% Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) policy came into effect requiring developers to ensure a 10% improvement in biodiversity on new developments compared to pre-development conditions.
These BNG requirements mean that many developments now rely on habitat banks to achieve the necessary uplift. Habitat Regeneration provides the practical contracting and land management support needed to establish, implement and maintain habitat banks on behalf of BNG providers, facilitators, ecologists, and landowners.
Our role is operational. We carry out the on-the-ground works required to create and sustain the habitats set out in approved management and monitoring plans – helping BNG delivery partners meet their obligations reliably and at scale.
Where We Fit In
Many BNG organisations identify and structure habitat bank opportunities but rely on trusted contractors to implement them. That is where we support the process.
We assist with:
- preparing sites for habitat creation
- undertaking the required habitat establishment works
- delivering ongoing management and maintenance
- providing monitoring support aligned with ecological recommendations
This ensures that habitat banks designed by BNG facilitators and ecologists are delivered accurately, safely and in compliance with plan requirements.
We provide practical, end-to-end support for implementing BNG commitments.
BNG and Habitat Management Services :
- On-site BNG delivery – habitat establishment and green infrastructure works
- Off-site BNG implementation – carrying out creation and management works on habitat bank sites identified by BNG companies
- Habitat management plans – working alongside ecologists to interpret and deliver plan requirements
- Operational habitat management – scheduled maintenance, monitoring support and reporting
Reliable, Long-Term Delivery
Where habitat banks are set up by BNG providers and landowners, we ensure the long-term management commitments are fulfilled. Our teams include ecologists, experienced machine operators and habitat management specialists, ensuring works are delivered as specified and evidenced for compliance.
