Habitat Management and Monitoring
Our Approach
To remain compliant habitat banks must be monitored and maintained to the standards set out in the habitat management and monitoring plan. We help landowners meet these commitments with confidence.
Our team supports the full 30+ year management cycle — from planning to on-the-ground delivery.
Our Range Of services
Management Plan Writing: We draft or review Habitat Management and Monitoring Plans (HMMPs) to ensure your site meets planning authority and legal requirements — providing a clear framework for 30+ years of habitat stewardship.
Ongoing Maintenance Support: We provide practical guidance on implementing habitat works, including grazing regimes, planting schedules, annual maintenance, and invasive species management, tailored to your site’s specific needs.
On-the-Ground Site Management: Where required, we can directly manage sites through our in-house teams or trusted ecological partners — providing a full turnkey solution for long-term compliance and habitat quality.
Annual Monitoring Reports: We carry out (or coordinate) annual habitat condition assessments and prepare reports for submission to planning authorities or developers, ensuring your site remains compliant and performing.
Corrective Advice: If monitoring identifies underperformance, we recommend targeted interventions to restore condition levels and maintain the integrity of biodiversity unit commitments.
