TOE are delighted to be bringing one of the first approved Habitat Banks to the market in Buckinghamshire. Following the approval of the Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan and fulfilling all required Buckinghamshire Council Habitat Bank criteria, an s106 has been signed, securing the site. Excitingly, an application for inclusion on the Biodiversity Gain Site Register has also been made.
The wetland in the first stages of restoration.
The site involves a Floodplain Wetland Mosaic restoration along the Thame. Ideally located within the Thame Biodiversity Opportunity Area, the site creates a suitable corridor between two Important Freshwater Area’s (IFAs). This means the site scores well on strategic significance, especially when combined with the spatial risk calculation for developments within Buckinghamshire or NCA. Developed in conjunction with the respected River Thame Conservation Trust, the site also includes Other Neutral Grassland and Mixed scrub, offering a range of options to meet trading rules.
The wetland in the process of being restored and starting to take shape.
We are expecting a great deal of interest in the site, so we will be offering the opportunity to reserve units, especially to individuals and companies we have worked with to provide off set units previously.
