A habitat bank in the making

Location & areas served

Where it is, and where it can help

Cookridge sits near Leeds, within the Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire & Yorkshire Coalfield National Character Area. Its location and trading area are set now and won’t change once the bank is registered, so you can plan around it today. The solid area on the map is the local zone, the host LPA and National Character Area, where units apply at full value under the biodiversity gain spatial risk multiplier. The hatched area shows neighbouring LPAs and NCAs, where units remain eligible at an adjusted rate (0.75×). Beyond that, we deliver nationally.
