Local BNG units, close to where you’re building.
Host LPA: Waverley Borough Council · Registration: BGS-060325001
The habitat bank
A richer, more connected landscape
Slades Farm is near Bramley, south of Guildford, within the Wealden Greensand landscape. Across 88 hectares, wildflower-rich grassland, mixed scrub, trees and lowland mixed deciduous woodland will be created and enhanced.
Lowland mixed deciduous woodland is a nationally recognised priority habitat. Together with the grassland, scrub and retained hedgerows, it will provide more food, shelter and nesting opportunities for birds, bats and invertebrates, while helping wildlife move through the wider countryside.

Long-term stewardship
Restored for nature
Wildflower-rich grassland
Other neutral grassland will be created and enhanced, bringing greater variety and more food and shelter for wildlife.
A priority woodland habitat
Lowland mixed deciduous woodland will be created and enhanced alongside scrub, trees and retained hedgerows, strengthening the wooded character of the Greensand Hills.
Monitoring that guides the work
Ecological monitoring will track how the habitats establish and change. The results will guide the work on the ground, allowing management to adapt as nature responds. Acoustic monitoring indicated the presence of 52 bird species during dawn and dusk surveys in May 2026. The findings give us a useful baseline and will help us track how bird life responds as the habitat establishes and matures.
