Habitat Management and Monitoring Plans (HMMPs)

Habitat Management and Monitoring Plans (HMMPs) set out how habitats created or enhanced as part of Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) proposals will be established, managed, monitored, and reported on over the required 30-year BNG management period. HMMPs are commonly required to support planning applications or to support the creation of Habitat Banks.

Serotina Ecology prepares clear and practical HMMPs that translate ecological objectives into realistic management prescriptions. Plans are tailored to the habitats present on site and provide a structured framework for implementing, maintaining, and monitoring proposals.

HMMPs typically include

  • Baseline site description

  • Habitat creation and enhancement proposals

  • Long-term habitat management prescriptions

  • Reporting requirements and review mechanisms

Typical uses

  • Biodiversity Net Gain reporting for planning

  • Habitat creation and restoration projects.
