Overview
Sawtry (Glebe Farm Habitat Bank) is an ILM biodiversity gain site in Huntingdonshire, strategically positioned within the Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire Claylands National Character Area.
The site is currently predominantly cropland, with smaller areas of Other Neutral Grassland. Through habitat creation and enhancement, it will be restored to a mosaic of Other Neutral Grassland and Mixed Scrub in good condition, generating medium distinctiveness BNG units.
An HMMP is in place and the site is legally secured via a Conservation Covenant. It is now registered on the Biodiversity Gain Site Register.
With a substantial volume of available units, Sawtry offers developers a significant off-site BNG opportunity within Huntingdonshire and the wider Cambridgeshire area.
