Biodiversity net gain initiative creating >1,000 biodiversity units for sale.

  • Overview

     

    This landscape scale scheme is strategically located next to the River Thet and will see the creation and enhancement of a range of habitats that will generate over 1,000 biodiversity units.

    These habitats can support key species which are priorities for conservation in the Norfolk and Suffolk Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS). The ponds and surrounding habitats will provide essential breeding grounds, shelter and food sources for great crested newts. The grassland-scrub mosaic habitat will create ideal nesting sites and abundant food sources for nightingales. Enhancing the riparian corridor along the River Thet will improve habitat for kingfishers, and woodland enhancement will increase roosting sites and foraging opportunities for barbastelle bats. Scattered oak trees will also play a vital role in supporting biodiversity and ecosystem health. The lowland meadows can create the ideal microhabitat for the green-tinged orchid. Turtle doves may also benefit from the combination of grassland-scrub mosaic, ponds and surrounding agricultural land that will form this landscape.
