Ecological Stewardship & Compliance
Supporting long-term Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) and LEMP obligations through structured grazing management.
Strategic sheep grazing is a proven mechanism for delivering the ecological requirements of operational solar sites. Unlike mechanical cutting, which can lead to habitat homogenisation, selective grazing promotes structural diversity within the sward, directly supporting species-rich grasslands and pollinator corridors.
Our management approach integrates seamlessly with planning conditions, ensuring that Landscape and Ecological Management Plans (LEMPs) are not just met, but actively enhanced. By strictly controlling grazing intensity and timing, we facilitate the following ecological gains:
- Promotion of species-rich swards and successful BNG outcomes.
- Low-impact vegetation control in sensitive ecological areas.
- Compliance-ready documentation for ecological site audits.
- Management of invasive species and competitive grasses without chemical intervention.
Rigorous Compliance Monitoring & Reporting Protocols
The long-term performance of solar assets is intrinsically linked to planning compliance and land stewardship. We provide technical, data-driven management information for planning consultants, land agents, and asset managers to ensure all Landscape and Ecological Management Plans (LEMP) and Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) obligations are met with precision.
Our reporting protocols include detailed grazing logs, vegetation health assessments, and BNG metric progress tracking. This evidence-based approach provides a robust audit trail for planning condition discharge and local authority scrutiny, positioning sheep grazing as a low-risk, compliant alternative to traditional mechanical maintenance.
