Every decision you make as a landlord or developer has an environmental ripple effect - but that doesn't mean it has to be hard


What if your next property development could actually make the world greener? In this eye-opening episode of the Honest Proper-tea podcast, hosts Becky and Ruth sit down with ecologist Emily Wilson to explore how property development and wildlife conservation can work hand in hand.

Emily breaks down the game-changing biodiversity net gain requirements that now demand developers create 20% more habitat than they destroy, and reveals why this isn't just good for nature—it's good for business too. From creating wildlife-friendly rental properties that attract eco-conscious tenants to tackling invasive species like Japanese knotweed, this conversation is packed with practical insights for developers, landlords, and property investors.

Discover how simple changes like letting gardens go wild, creating natural ponds, and choosing sustainable materials can enhance property values while supporting local ecosystems. Plus, learn why millennials and Gen Z are driving demand for eco-friendly living spaces and how landlords can tap into this growing market.


Whether you're a seasoned developer looking to future-proof your projects or a landlord wanting to create spaces that renters love, this episode offers actionable strategies that benefit your bottom line and the planet. This episode is perfect for Property developers, landlords, real estate investors, sustainability advocates, and anyone interested in ethical property investing that creates positive environmental impact 🌿
