Habitat Management & Monitoring Plans
A practical plan for long-term habitat management and monitoring
A Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan (HMMP) sets out how habitats will be created, enhanced, managed and monitored to ensure they achieve their intended ecological objectives over the long term.
HMMPs are commonly required to support Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) proposals and provide a clear framework for the ongoing management of habitats following development. They help ensure biodiversity enhancements are successfully established, maintained and monitored throughout the agreed management period.
At Stour Ecology Ltd, we prepare practical, site-specific HMMPs that provide clear management objectives, realistic prescriptions and measurable monitoring requirements.
For developments subject to Biodiversity Net Gain requirements, HMMPs typically provide the framework for managing and monitoring habitats throughout the 30-year management period required under the legislation.
