More room to play. More space for nature.
Padel is finding its way into more people’s lives. Participation in Britain more than doubled in 2025, with 860,000 people taking to the courts. As enthusiasm grows, so does demand for places to play.
In Milton Keynes, we’ve helped Padel MK navigate BNG requirements for a development of seven new padel courts and supporting facilities, alongside the restoration of two existing all-weather playing pitches.
The scheme brings together investment in local sporting facilities and lasting gains for nature. Our part has been to help the team find a practical way to address its BNG requirements, supporting its plans to bring more opportunities for sport to the community.
“Padel is a sociable sport, and we’re excited to give more people the chance to get involved. We needed to understand how BNG would fit into our plans. Biofarm helped us work through the requirements and find a practical way forward, so we could focus on bringing the project to life. We’re proud that something designed to bring people together can also support lasting gains for nature.”
BNG is often discussed in the context of new homes. Projects like this show its wider reach, connecting the places where people work, play and spend time together with the restoration of the natural world around them.
