Biodiversity enhancement for new Wiltshire housing
Challenge
Achieving planning consent for a residential development outside Chippenham town centre
Following a significant period of species surveying and monitoring, our ecology team devised a biodiversity strategy to ensure future longevity of protected regional populations.
Representing the developer’s core values and commitment to biodiversity enhancement, Engain’s consultancy and guidance ensured a robust planning application, and consequent consent.
