As we enter the second year of our project with Sainsbury’s, we reflect on our journey and the progress we’ve made towards a more resilient food-producing landscape.
This month, we’re introducing our new blog series “Updates from Defra”. Each month, the team at Defra send us their updates, and we’ll share the top picks which we believe are important and helpful for you, our community of Land App users, here on the blog.
Recently, we announced our partnership with UKHab Ltd, helping to bring efficiency, consistency, and accuracy to the way habitat assessments are carried out.
The UK Habitat Classification system (also referred to as UKHab) is a coding system used for surveying and classifying habitats when conducting a habitat assessment. By assigning specific ecological features a primary habitat code, secondary code, and condition score, it enables ecosystems to be mapped with accuracy and detail.
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is a central policy for both development and conservation in England, introducing a new focus to the way we approach land development. This blog explores what BNG is: its key points, purpose, and why it matters to various stakeholders.
We’re pleased to share that our Professional subscribers now receive 30% off UK Habitat Best Guess Baseline data.
As the land management sector begins the transition to digital mapping in earnest, habitat mapping has become more sophisticated, and important. Habitat assessments will play an important role in new environmental land management schemes, developments for Biodiversity Net Gain, Landscape Recovery and so much more…

Chris outlines that “we are heavily involved with rural planning, with instructions ranging from the positioning of Milk Vending Machines to the conversion of whole farmsteads into housing or commercial estates. Whatever the job, Land App proves invaluable for every application in some shape or form”.
We’re proud to announce the launch of our partnership with UKHab LTD, helping to improve the quality of digital habitat mapping across the land sector. By teaming up, we’re making habitat mapping swift and reliable for everyone – whether you’re working on baselines, habitat banking, natural capital portfolios, Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG), or more…
Albanwise Environment, the Environment team of the 10,500 hectare Albanwise Wallace Estates, are in the process of using Land App to help understand their natural capital baseline, potential for Biodiversity Net Gain and their role in Landscape Recovery. Recently, we caught up with Director Mike Edwards, and Angus Wells, Woodland and Technical Manager, to discuss how Land App supports their environmental projects. From spatial planning and strategising land use at the landscape scale, to instantly calculating a “Best-Guess UKHab Baseline ” across all 10,500 hectares, here’s how Albanwise are taking their land management to the next level…
