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.

Why Biodiversity Net Gain Matters
