Wiston Estate, North Farm, Pulborough, RH20 4BB

This is an exciting opportunity for developers to support landscape-scale habitat restoration in West Sussex that will buffer and expand priority habitats. The creation of a variety of habitats and enhancement of woodlands will generate over 600 biodiversity units.

The first phase of BNG has a s106 agreement in place with the South Downs National Park and has been accepted onto the Biodiversity Gain Site Register (reference number: BGS-140524001). To date over 70 biodiversity units have been sold.

Developers can secure biodiversity units for the following habitat types:

• Lowland calcareous grassland
• Traditional orchard
• Grassland habitats of medium distinctiveness
• Lowland mixed deciduous woodland
• Wet woodland
• Woodland habitats of medium distinctiveness
• Heathland and shrub habitats of medium distinctiveness
• Individual trees of medium distinctiveness
• Ponds of medium distinctiveness
• Species-rich native hedgerow with trees
• Hedgerow habitats of medium distinctiveness
