Farm Diversification and Biodiversity Net Gain
The rural landscape around Exbury provides opportunities for ecology-led farm diversification and sustainable long-term land management. Biodiversity Net Gain requirements can apply to a wide range of new development proposals, making it important for landowners to consider ecological requirements at an early stage.
For landowners around Exbury, BNG considerations may also provide opportunities to integrate habitat creation and enhancement with wider land management and diversification strategies.
Farm diversification can also provide valuable additional income opportunities for rural businesses in and around Exbury. Rural tourism, equestrian activities, renewable energy projects and habitat-focused land management can all form part of a broader diversification strategy.
