Case study:
Bluntisham Habitat Bank
Location: Cambridgeshire, England
The Opportunity:
Spanning approximately 34 hectares of previously low-yield arable land, this site offered a major opportunity to restore biodiversity on the edge of the Fens.
The landowner sought to transition away from volatile agricultural markets toward a guaranteed, 30-year "green" income stream that preserved the family's land legacy.
Our Role:
We manage the full end-to-end lifecycle.
This includes performing the initial baseline ecological assessments, securing official registration on the National Biodiversity Gain Site Register, and managing the legal structuring.
We facilitate the BNG unit registration and sales to developers, while our team handles the physical ecological delivery and the long-term monitoring and reporting for the 30-year duration.
Outcomes:
Creation of a rich habitat mosaic including neutral grassland, scrub, and broadleaved woodland.
The site provides a high volume of BNG units for the Greater Cambridgeshire area, fostering landscape-scale connectivity and supporting ground-nesting birds and pollinators.
