Enhancing biodiversity onsite and offsite

Deliver compliance, enhance nature, and create lasting value

Biodiversity, the variety of life within species, between species, and across ecosystems, is vital for healthy, resilient landscapes. Since 2024, Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) has been mandatory under the Environment Act 2021, ensuring developments leave nature in a better state.

At Ground Control, we make it simple to meet BNG requirements, enhance biodiversity, and showcase your environmental commitment.

End-to-end biodiversity support

From ecological surveys and site assessments to long-term habitat management, Ground Control offers a seamless, start-to-finish service. Our experts work across the UK, helping clients:

• Identify ecological constraints
• Plan and deliver biodiversity improvements
• Monitor and report environmental outcomes

Offsetting your Biodiversity Net Gain with our 'Evergreen' habitat banks

We also own habitat banks, providing off-site BNG units to offset any shortfall. These sites demonstrate our approach to biodiversity in action:

• Rewilding projects restoring natural habitats
• Woodland creation supporting wildlife and carbon capture
• Wetland and pond development for aquatic ecosystems

Onsite Biodiversity Enhancements

Bring nature directly to your site with practical, visible improvements:

• Wildflower meadows to attract pollinators and enrich ecosystems
• Hedgehog highways and wildlife corridors connecting green spaces
• Bug hotels and insect shelters for pollinators and beneficial insects
• Pollinator pathways linking gardens, parks, and urban areas
• Native tree and shrub planting enhancing local ecology
• Green roofs and living walls provide urban habitats for birds and insects

These interventions boost biodiversity, engage communities, and improve the environmental value of your development.
