Biodiversity Net Gain and Land Use Opportunities
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is now a key consideration for many planning applications. For landowners in the Alverstoke area, BNG can also provide valuable opportunities to enhance biodiversity, diversify land use and generate long-term environmental and financial benefits.
Our consultants offer practical advice on how biodiversity net gain requirements may affect proposed developments while identifying opportunities for habitat creation and enhancement that support planning success and sustainable land management.
Supporting Farm Diversification
Farm diversification is becoming increasingly important for rural businesses seeking to strengthen long-term financial resilience. We help landowners identify suitable development opportunities that complement their existing operations while meeting planning and environmental requirements.
Popular diversification opportunities include:
Habitat banking: Habitat banking can provide landowners with a passive income stream by enhancing biodiversity on their land. By creating or improving habitats, landowners may generate biodiversity credits that can be sold to developers required to meet Biodiversity Net Gain obligations.
Renewable energy projects: Rural land can also be used for renewable energy schemes such as wind farms, solar energy farms or biomass facilities. One common approach is leasing land to developers for long-term renewable energy installations.
