Biodiversity Net Gain and Land Use Opportunities
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is now an important part of many applications involving rural land. It also offers landowners new opportunities to improve biodiversity while creating additional long-term income.
Our consultants can explain how BNG may affect your development and identify opportunities for habitat creation and enhancement. We develop practical BNG strategies that support both your project and the long-term management of your land.
Supporting Farm Diversification
Many farms are looking beyond traditional agriculture to create new income streams. We help landowners in Blackmoor identify diversification opportunities that are commercially viable and comply with planning legislation.
Popular farm diversification options include:
Habitat banking – Habitat banking can provide a reliable long-term income by creating biodiversity units that can be sold to developers seeking to satisfy Biodiversity Net Gain requirements.
Renewable energy projects – Rural land around Blackmoor may be suitable for renewable energy projects such as wind farms, solar energy farms or biomass projects. Subject to planning permission and environmental assessments, these developments can provide valuable additional revenue while supporting the UK’s transition towards cleaner energy.
We also advise clients on permitted development rights, helping determine whether proposed agricultural works can proceed without requiring full planning permission.
