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.
