River Habitat Bank CIC is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to restoring and enhancing rivers and streams across the Thames Basin. We specialise in delivering watercourse biodiversity net gain solutions that help meet planning requirements while achieving meaningful ecological recovery and community benefit.
As the demand for nature-positive development grows, we collaborate with developers, landowners, local authorities, and conservation partners to ensure that biodiversity is not only protected but also enhanced. Our projects restore natural processes, support priority species, and reconnect fragmented habitats, thereby creating vibrant, functioning river ecosystems that benefit both people and wildlife.
At River Habitat Bank CIC, we don’t just meet the standards, we help raise them.

Following the mitigation hierarchy, we will always advise trying to deliver your watercourse net gain on site. Our river specialists can help with this, especially if consulted early in the design process.

Can't deliver the required uplift on site? We are working with landowners to offer watercourse units for sale.

Do you know that you have a potential future demand for watercourse units? We can work with you to strategically develop units in water bodies across the Thames Basin.

We offer design, delivery and maintenance of river and riparian corridor enhancements for 30 years. By evidencing biodiversity net gain uplift, we sell watercourse units to cover the full costs of the project.
A more biodiverse and sustainable watercourse, which will benefit wildlife and local communities.
