Biodiversity Net Gain: Creating a Thriving Community in Harmony with Nature

Urban Regeneration

Nurturing the Future of People, Plants & Wildlife

At Langarth, we believe a thriving community lives in harmony with nature. That’s why we’re committed to achieving a 20% Biodiversity Net Gain, ensuring that our development not only preserves but enhances the natural environment.

We recognise the importance of protecting wildlife and supporting a thriving ecosystem so that birds, bees and butterflies can flourish amongst wildflower meadows whilst we create a melody between modern living and nature’s rhythms. Through careful planning and innovative landscaping, we’re creating green spaces that support diverse ecosystems, from flourishing woodlands to grass-covered wetlands. These efforts protect local wildlife and provide our residents with beautiful, natural spaces to relax and unwind.

Our beautiful 620-acre site is a place that nurtures people and wildlife, offering every living thing a place to call home. Here, residents and nature live and thrive side by side.

Why is Biodiversity Net Gain Important for Our Sustainable Community?

Biodiversity net gain offers us the chance to reconnect with the rhythms of nature. By respecting the pace of the natural world, we can learn to cultivate an environment that gives and receives in balance and harmony. Imagine a world with cleaner air, richer soil and a balanced ecosystem that offers a higher quality of life for wildlife and people. By actively improving natural habitats, we can create healthier, more vibrant, resilient spaces where wildlife can thrive alongside human habitation. This has many benefits for all involved.

  • Developers & Housebuilders: Benefit from fast, streamlined approvals, increased market appeal and an improved Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Profile.
  • Partners & Investors: Benefit from future-proof investments and receive long-term stability and growth whilst aligning with global sustainability goals.
  • Residents: Enjoy clean air, green spaces and natural landscapes that boost your health and well-being.
Our Proactive Approach

What Does Biodiversity Net Gain Mean?

Actively Enhancing the Environment

Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is a proactive approach to development that goes beyond simply protecting the environment – it’s about actively enhancing it. This involves creating new habitats, revitalising existing ones and increasing biodiversity to ensure wildlife not only survives but thrives. For our 620-acre site at Langarth Garden Village, achieving a 20% Biodiversity Net Gain means that we’re committed to improving the natural environment by at least 20% compared to its original state before development began. 

Our Commitment

How Are We Achieving 20% Biodiversity Net Gain?

At Langarth, we’re not just preserving nature; we’re actively creating, restoring and improving natural habitats through various impactful initiatives. These include preserving at least 48% green space, protecting and expanding Cornish hedges, and enhancing rivers and wetlands.

We’re also implementing sustainable drainage systems to naturally prevent flooding and planting over 50,000 new trees to improve air quality and capture carbon. These initiatives provide habitats for insects, songbirds, badgers and more, allowing Langarth Garden village and the natural world to coexist in harmony.
