Introduction to Etive Habitats
What do we do?
Etive Habitats is designed to provide the link between developers that need off-site Habitat Units to meet Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) requirements and the providers of these units in England. Etive Habitats provides a platform for landowners to market their sites, the availability of Habitat/Hedgerow/Watercourse Units and to detail their credentials. Developers and others in the market for off-site units can review available options in their Local Authority area.
Etive Habitats is here to make the identification of available units easy. It is here to enable smooth transactions between buyers and providers of units so that there are minimal delays in obtaining planning approval.
Etive Habitats is supported by Etive Ecology Ltd – an established ecological consultancy with a track record of success across multiple sectors of the economy; from residential, commercial and renewable energy generation to large scale infrastructure. Etive have the skills, knowledge and practical know-how to deliver solutions to ecological issues.
How It Works
-
If you own land, no matter how big or small, and you have an interest in creating habitat, benefiting biodiversity in the UK and getting financial support to do so, then we would love to hear from you.
-
We will support you through the process, carrying out initial assessments and preparing all of the necessary ecological documentation so that you are ready to create Units that can be sold on Etive Habitats.
-
We will take you through the approval process with your relevant Local Authority, and upon signing of a Section 106 agreement, we will market your units to suitable buyers.
-
There is no fee until such time as a sale of units is made.
