Biodiversity

Ensuring diversity of life on Earth during infrastructure development.

Biodiversity is a critical consideration for all modern infrastructure projects and subject to compliance regulations. We help National Highways, Tier 1 contractors, developers and planners meet their legislative requirements and achieve measurable Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) with practical, on-the-ground solutions to protect and enhance natural habitats.

From comprehensive Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) services, including buying off-site BNG units to 30-year habit management, surveys, assessments and reporting, we work across diverse landscapes and complex, high-traffic infrastructure corridors.

Always focusing on tangible ecological gains, whether through bespoke planting schemes, creating new habitats, or implementing Biodiversity Net Gain strategies, we help you deliver and demonstrate positive impact on natural capital.

Our biodiversity services include:

• Biodiversity baseline surveys and habitat assessments
• Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) support and Defra metric calculations
• Mitigation and enhancement strategy development
• Habitat creation and restoration planning
• Habitat management and monitoring
• Monitoring and compliance reporting

All biodiversity assessments, mitigation designs and monitoring plans align with Defra biodiversity metrics, BS 8683 (Designing and Implementing Biodiversity Net Gain), and BS 42020 (Code of Practice for Planning and Development).
