Description
A large mixed arable and pastural farm. Rectory Farm is an opportunity to demonstrate how Biodiversity Net Gain can be used to fund significant effective habitat creation within a functioning farm alongside food production. The scheme will involve strategic creation of species-rich grasslands and wet meadows managed by a sensitive mixture of hay cutting and grazing along a large contiguous area of land and bolstered by creation of arboreal habitats and features around peripheries.
