Building a portfolio of habitat banks across the UK

Secure high quality Biodiversity Net Gain units with us.

The UK’s Biodiversity Net Gain framework requires developments to deliver a 10% improvement to biodiversity

Habitat banks provide off site biodiversity units that developers can purchase to meet these obligations.

Nature Restoration Projects develops and operates habitat banks that generate these units through large scale habitat creation and restoration.

Our Projects

Nature Restoration Projects is launching with three habitat banks forming the foundation of a wider national portfolio.

Each site has been selected for its ecological potential and long-term viability as a nature restoration project.

High-integrity nature restoration

Our sites are selected and designed to deliver robust ecological outcomes while meeting the requirements of the Biodiversity Net Gain framework.

Each habitat bank follows a clear delivery model:

  • Careful site selection based on ecological potential and landscape context

  • Habitat design aligned with the DEFRA Biodiversity Metric

  • Verified biodiversity units for development projects

  • Long term habitat management and monitoring

Our aim is to build a growing portfolio of habitat banks delivering biodiversity gain across the UK.

Biodiversity Net Gain Units

Our habitat banks provide off-site biodiversity units for developers and infrastructure projects needing to meet Biodiversity Net Gain requirements.

Units are secured through legal agreements and supported by long-term habitat management and monitoring.
