Habitat bank Consultancy

Our Approach

Creating a habitat bank is a powerful way for landowners to generate long-term income from under utilised land. At Reverte Consulting, we guide you through every step — from vision to delivery.

We combine ecological, legal, and commercial expertise to ensure your habitat bank is not only ecologically robust but also market-ready and compliant.

Our Range Of services

  • Habitat Bank Design: We create detailed plans for the type, extent, and layout of proposed habitats, ensuring they align with the DEFRA Biodiversity Metric and are practical to implement and maintain over the long term.

  • Financial Modelling: We provide income projections and cost modelling over the 30+ year lifespan of the habitat bank, including unit pricing estimates, delivery costs, and management budgets — helping you assess return on investment and funding requirements.

  • Legal and Planning Advice: We support coordination with local planning authorities, Natural England, and your legal team to ensure the habitat bank is compliant with registration requirements and secured under the appropriate legal mechanism (Section 106 or Conservation Covenant).

  • Commercial Strategy: We help position your habitat bank in the market by assessing local BNG demand, developer needs, and habitat type preferences — ensuring your bank is aligned with planning policy and commercially attractive to buyers
