Overview
Wood Park is an ILM biodiversity gain site in Wiltshire, within the Avon Vales National Character Area.
The site delivers a broad mix of habitat types, including Other Neutral Grassland, Lowland Meadows, Mixed Scrub, Other Woodland: Broadleaved, Rural Trees, Reedbeds, Ponds (non-priority habitat), Species-Rich Native Hedgerow with Trees and Ditches. These habitats generate biodiversity units across medium, high and very high distinctiveness categories.
The inclusion of habitat such as Lowland Meadows (very high distinctiveness) and Reedbeds (high distinctiveness) adds to the ecological value of the site, providing options for developments requiring more than standard grassland provision.
An approved Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan (HMMP) is in place and the site is secured via a Conservation Covenant. Units are available to reserve, with registration details to follow.
Positioned within the Avon Vales NCA, the site is well placed to serve development projects across Wiltshire and the surrounding area. For information on site suitability, allocation and next steps, please enquire and the team will confirm the most appropriate route for your project.
