With property developers now required to achieve biodiversity net gain, solicitor Jack Manning says there are opportunities for landowners. Farmers Guardian reports.

Making nature recovery pay

rSaleable BNG units could generate income

LANDOWNERS could find ‘interesting opportunities’ to make nature recovery pay following recent legislation meaning property developers now need to achieve mandatory levels of improvement to the natural environment.

That was the message from Jack Manning, a solicitor in the commercial property team at Clarke Willmott.

The relevant provisions of the Environment Act 2021 came into force on April 2, meaning that all major and minor commercial and residential development must achieve a minimum of 10 per cent biodiversity net gain (BNG). The same requirements were expected to extend to Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects from late November 2025.

Mr Manning said: “If developers cannot meet this requirement through their development, the gain can be delivered on separate land as long as it is maintained accordingly for 30 years.

“This has led to developers seeking off-site solutions on third-partyowned land to meet the BNG

requirements for their projects via a variety of legal frameworks, offering new income and capital opportunities for landowners.”

Requirements varied in each local planning authority, but the principle was for a habitat management and monitoring plan to be put in place, via a section 106 agreement or conservation covenant, which would record the number of units that the scheme generated. The units could then be sold to a developer, which would allow them to proceed with their property development.

Habitat banks

Mr Manning said Clarke Willmott had been involved in creating the first live habitat bank in Devon, and was assisting landowners in establishing their own.

“There are a number of ways in which land can be owned, controlled and managed to deliver saleable BNG units,” he said.

Leasehold habitat banks are where a landowner grants a lease –either to a third-party unit provider or a broker – with the leaseholder then managing the land as a ‘habitat bank’, generating the BNG units to be allocated and sold. Dependent on

As of April 2, all major and minor commercial and residential development must achieve a minimum of 10 per cent biodiversity net gain.

the scheme, the landowner could receive a lump sum or annual rental payments but must seek advice on the tax implications of each option.

Mr Manning added: “Consider who has the management responsibility; some schemes place the responsibility on the broker, whereas some schemes require co-creation or co-management.

“Registering the scheme will restrict the use of the land, so a co-creation/management scheme may be favourable if a landowner is concerned that the scheme needs to fit with wider business operations so as not to jeopardise other income streams.”

Landowners should also make sure that the lease does not include break options that could leave them open to habitat management obligations, which require expense and expertise, and should check who would be responsible for any upfront capital costs.

DIY options via self-fund or ‘green finance’ would allow landowners to create and maintain the habitat with a view of selling units directly to a developer.

“The obvious benefit is that the landowner will directly receive

income from the sale of the units and will have complete control over the management of the land,” added Mr Manning.

However, this would mean there was no guarantee of units being allocated or sold.

Green finance

There could be significant costs involved in habitat creation, although specialist lenders could assist with the funding via ‘green finance’.

Mr Manning said: “If you are in the process of agreeing a strategic land deal, remember that developers may be open to the possibility of acquiring extra land for habitat creation.

“They may also want to take an option for BNG units if you have already created a scheme – it is worth asking the question.”

Landowners taking on the scheme should also consider forming a consortium with neighbours.

“Remember that a section 106 or conservation covenant will be binding on successors in title and crystallise the use for at least 30 years. Consider your circumstances carefully and that of the next generations,” added Mr Manning.

PROPERTY LANDSCAPE Carrot may be replaced by stick on hedgerows

New rules could block grant access

Political policy on Britain’s thousands of miles of hedgerows has changed dramatically over the years, from post-war destruction to today’s conservation.

If the Management of Hedgerows (England) Regulations 2024 currently before Parliament are passed into law, all farmers and landowners will have to comply with a new set of rules governing exactly how their hedgerows must now be managed, principally to enhance their benefit to the environment and to wildlife.

There are two main areas of management practice that will be stipulated.

Firstly, a two-metre buffer strip of green cover, measured from the centre of a hedgerow, must be established and maintained and no cultivation or application of pesticides or fertilisers should take place within this buffer strip.

Secondly, a hedgerow cutting ban will be enforced from March 1 to August 31 to protect nesting birds.

Consistency

The new law will be regulated by the Rural Payments Agency, which will take advice on the approach to enforcement. But in my experience, most farmers and landowners know what best practice looks like and will welcome the consistency and clarity the regulations will bring.

The new law will come into force immediately it is passed by Parliament, but it includes exemptions and derogations which will give farmers time to comply under certain circumstances. For example, on land used for crop production where hedgerows have no buffer strip, the strip will only need to be created after the harvest.

As land management consultants, we will be watching the passage of the new law and studying the guidance the Government has promised.

Farmers and landowners understand the environmental value of their hedgerows better than anybody and have been managing them accordingly for years.

But the replacement of incentives under the old Basic Payments Scheme (BPS) with rules and requirements governing environmental standards for hedgerow management may be just the start.

With the removal of BPS, the UK Government has introduced grants to cover the improvement of many key aspects of environmental management, but if those improvements in best practice become law and the grants are no longer available, then farmers who have failed to secure that funding now and may have to carry the cost themselves in the future.

The new Environment Agency inspections which began six months ago are designed to enforce higher standards required in the management of areas, such as Silage Slurry and Agricultural Fuel Oil-compliant silage pits and slurry storage.

If they find a silage pit or slurry tank needs upgrading, farmers will be required to upgrade it within a given time period, and if there is no grant funding, the bill will be their responsibility.

In the current climate particularly, farmers and landowners can do without yet another major additional cost to bear, so our advice is to get in touch with a professional now and secure the funding while you can, or run the risk of being governed by the big stick without the compensation of the carrot.
