Projects
Southend Farm
Southend Farm is a family-run farm and wedding venue near Chichester. The family owners have leased part of their land for Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG), securing a long-term, income stream while driving nature recovery through the creation of habitats including species-rich grassland, traditional orchard, and hedgerows that will deliver measurable biodiversity uplift.
-
Reliable, long-term BNG payments diversify the farms income and reduce exposure to commodity price volatility.
-
Lower-yield fields are repurposed into high-value habitat, improving overall land productivity per hectare in financial terms.
-
Eco-logical Landscapes are professional habitat bank partners. We take on design, delivery and monitoring, reducing management burden for the landowner.
-
Restored habitats enhance soil health, water management and carbon storage across the holding. Benefiting regenerative farming practices.
-
A positive legacy for the future, creating sustainable, meaningful and manageable commitments for future generations.
-
BNG can support other businesses on your land. At Southend the wedding venue will benefit from the visual appeal of a flower rich meadow and a traditional orchard for guests to enjoy and their chefs to utilise. The farm will benefit from a healthier eco system and an increase in pollinators.
Restoring Ancient Woodland in Sussex
A family owned working woodland, with traditional forestry operations and wild camping in West Sussex is undergoing works to become a BNG habitat bank. The site is predominately plantation on ancient woodland (PAWS) and has excellent potential for impactful nature recovery. The owners have been managing the land sensitively for many years. They have now chosen to use some of their land for biodiversity net gain as it allows them to fund the restoration and provide an income that is greater than from the traditional forestry works.
-
Improving financial yields from the woodland.
-
Creating a biodiverse experience for campers.
-
Eco-logical Landscapes have created baselines for the site and are designing the habitat management and monitoring plan to align with the landowners requirements and to optimally increase biodiversity on site.
-
BNG payments will allow a faster pace of restoration in the woodland.
-
The enjoyment of nature returning to the woodland for the family, now and in the future.

What is Biodiversity Net Gain?
Biodiversity Net Gain (also known as BNG) legislation is designed to measurably improve the state of nature in England. Every new development must ensure when the works are completed that there will be a 10% biodiversity net gain. This will counteract any damage done during building works and enhance nature by at least 10% over 30 years.
Many developers cannot effectively do this on their building site. In which case they can purchase biodiversity net gain units. By working with Eco-logical Landscapes you can provide biodiversity net gain units for developers to buy. It's a complicated process that we will guide you through from start to finish. We take responsibility for all of the legal requirements, reporting, and advice on land management. Through this process you can:
-
Benefit from significant financial returns
-
Diversify your income whilst protecting nature
-
Experience the joy of seeing your land come alive with wildlife
-
Ensure your land is protected for the next generation
What is Nutrient Mitigation?
Nutrient mitigation is a legal requirement for new housing developments within certain sesitive areas including:
Chichester District Council, East Hampshire District Council, Havant Borough Council, Fareham Borough Council & the South Downs National Park.
The aim of the legislation is to minimise the amount of nutrients in our waterways and the sea to prevent eutrophication. Excess nutrients in the water accelerate the growth of plants and algae, causing oxygen depletion & reduced water quality, which is harmful to aquatic life. The regulations allow developers to purchase nutrient mitigation credits to reduce the impact of their development.
Landowners in appropriate locations (normally close to bodies of water in key areas) can lease land via Ecological Landscapes to developers to provide nitrate &/ phosphate mitigation credits. Your land will be carefully managed to provide the maximum amount of nutrient mitigation possible to protect our waterways and to begin to rebalance the damage done.
