Partnering with Hushwing will allow you to devote more time to your specialist field and the things you do best. Picking up the Biodiversity Net Gain at any stage of the project life-span, Hushwing can integrate relevant ecological data to provide a full mapping and reporting service.

For busy practices, Hushwing can provide independent and objective pre-application assessment review of Biodiversity Net Gain projects.

Depending on your requirements, Hushwing can prepare a feasibility report to identify enhancement opportunities and development constraints with respect to Biodiversity Net Gain, planning policy and legislation. Information gathered will inform future management and land use such as pre-purchase assessment, Habitat Bank Registration or offset potential.

For many projects, mandated Biodiversity Net Gain, will cause a shift of emphasis whereby achieving Net Gain may require a greater project commitment than has been recent experience. By considering Biodiversity from inception and gathering baseline data at the beginning of a project’s life-span, Hushwing will help embed best practice and enable Biodiversity Gains to be designed into a development from the very start of the design process.

Planning policy requires development to deliver Biodiversity Net Gain. For quality assurance and policy compliance Hushwing can provide qualified, independent and objective review of pre-determination Net Gain documentation. Reports submitted in support of planning applications can be evaluated to the highest standard by Hushwing against the expectations of planning policy, best practice guidance and the British Standard, BS:8683: 2021.
