Case study:
Macclesfield Habitat Bank
Location: Cheshire, England
The Opportunity:
Covering over 20 hectares in Cheshire East, this project aimed to enhance species-poor pasture.
The landowner’s objective was to diversify their estate's portfolio by creating a high-performing natural capital asset that complements their existing operations.
Our Role:
We provide a total management solution.
We handled the end-to-end assessments and the registration of the site as a formal Habitat Bank.
We manage the entire BNG unit sales pipeline, providing the financial bridge between developers and the landowner.
Our team is responsible for the ongoing ecological delivery and monitoring, ensuring the site hits its 30-year biodiversity targets without the administrative burden falling on the landowner.
Outcomes:
Significant enhancement of Lowland Meadows and mixed scrub edges.
This project yields high-quality BNG units for the North West market and secures a flourishing ecological corridor that improves soil health and water infiltration across the landscape.
Status: Managed / Live
