Habitat Management & Monitoring Plan (HMMP)

Every Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan developed by Gradwell Group is thorough, evidence-based, and clearly structured. A typical plan includes:

• Baseline Assessment, A detailed survey and review of existing habitats, species, and ecological constraints or a thorough review of your BNG assessment.
• Management Objectives, Clearly defined ecological goals aligned with planning conditions and biodiversity targets.
• Management Prescriptions, Specific, actionable measures for each habitat type (e.g. grassland cutting regimes, wetland maintenance, woodland thinning, and scrub control).
• Monitoring Programme, A long-term schedule for ecological surveys and performance checks to track habitat progress.
• Reporting and Review, Regular reports to planning authorities, including adaptive management recommendations.
• Long-Term Responsibilities, Guidance on who manages the site, with roles, responsibilities, and maintenance intervals clearly set out.
