Description
Offered exclusively by Ecoura Natural Assets, this is one of the most compelling biodiversity opportunities in the Broads region. With over 70 units across a range of habitats, it’s ideal for developers seeking reliable, high-integrity BNG delivery backed by expert stewardship. Ecoura was founded in 2019 to unlock the full environmental and commercial value of nature-based solutions. Today, we manage over 2,000 acres across the UK, with a focus on ecological impact, long-term security and planning alignment. Our sites are ecologist-led, policy-informed, and designed for early engagement. Located within the Broads Authority and The Broads National Character Area, this scheme offers a varied mix of grassland, hedgerow, tree and ditch units. It includes 4 units from species-rich grassland, 12 from native hedgerow, and 25 from hedgerow with trees, helping to connect habitats across the site. 18 units come from rural trees, supporting birds and invertebrates, while 15 units are delivered through enhanced ditches, adding value for aquatic and wetland species. Trusted by major developers and LPAs, Ecoura offers smooth onboarding, fast response times and full transparency. Contact our team to reserve units today.
