If Biodiversity Net Gain commitments are not met during or after development, the local planning authority or responsible body can enforce compliance using the legal agreements attached to the project. This may include requiring corrective works, mandating further habitat interventions, or taking formal enforcement action.
Monitoring is not optional. Developers and landowners must provide ongoing ecological reports that demonstrate the condition of the habitat and confirm that it continues to meet the post development biodiversity value set out in the approved plan.
If monitoring identifies issues, the landowner or developer must act promptly to address them. Persistent failure can lead to legal and financial penalties. This is why engaging with a trusted habitat provider and management partner is essential.
Eco Capital ensures that all habitats and biodiversity units it supplies are backed by robust monitoring, management, and compliance processes that support long term ecological success.
