Frequently Asked Questions

A Circular Economy is a sustainable approach to resource use, focusing on reducing waste, reusing materials, and recycling resources to minimise environmental impact.

Yes, implementing a circular economy significantly cuts costs by repurposing recycled materials, eliminating the need for expensive raw resources, and reducing transportation expenses.

A Circular Economy reduces the environmental footprint of development projects by reusing resources and minimising waste. This aligns with sustainability goals and enhances the appeal of golf courses to environmentally conscious players.

We achieve a Circular Economy by recycling materials, such as soils from nearby construction projects, to build or enhance golf course facilities. This reduces waste, lowers costs, and minimises environmental impact.

Habitat Creation involves transforming and enhancing areas of land to support a variety of plant and animal species. For golf courses, this can include developing natural spaces such as wildflower meadows, wetlands, native woodlands, and bird habitats, which help boost biodiversity and support local ecosystems.

Yes, ongoing management is essential for the success of habitat creation projects. We provide guidance on maintaining and monitoring the habitats to ensure they thrive over time, promoting biodiversity and ecological health for years to come.

We begin by assessing your course’s landscape and identifying areas with the potential for habitat development. We then design and implement tailored solutions, such as planting native species, installing water features, and creating wildlife corridors, ensuring that the habitats are integrated seamlessly into the course.

Yes, there is scope for Booth Golf & Leisure to fund a Habitat Creation project. This would all depend on the size of the project, the more habitats you allow on your land the more likely it is that we can fund the entire project.

Yes, habitat creation can generate revenue through Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) units. By improving biodiversity on your golf course, you can create BNG units that can be sold to developers who need to meet their required 10% biodiversity uplift for new developments. However, these habitats must be managed and maintained for a minimum of 30 years to ensure their ecological value and meet regulatory requirements.

Through the use of Soil Importation. This provides the material required to create your new golf facilities

It is the model we utilise to create new golf facilities. We import clean soils from local construction developments to raise the levels on site.

Yes. We take compliance extremely seriously.

All material will be chemically assessed using laboratory testing before it’s accepted into site. This chemical data will be reviewed against the sites acceptance criteria.

If the material passes the review, it can be imported. If the material fails, it is blacklisted and won’t be allowed into site.

The material that enters site also undergoes a psychical examination and further random sampling to ensure it’s the material that was accepted.

It’s an approach that aims to improve the natural environmental, leaving it in a better state than it was before. This is achieved through the creation, enhancement and retainment of habitats.

We start by assessing the current ecological state of your course and identifying areas for improvement. Our partnered ecologists then create a customised plan to boost biodiversity through habitat creation, such as wildflower meadows, wetlands, and native planting. We work closely with your club to implement and manage these changes, ensuring measurable improvements over time.

It depends. If you are looking to monetise your Biodiversity uplift than someone has to commit to the management of the habitat management plan for 30-years. This can be managed by Booth Golf & Leisure or by the landowner.

Yes, implementing BNG can unlock new revenue streams in the form of Biodiversity Units. These units can be monetised on the market which developers looking to meeting their BNG targets can purchase.

Although this depends on the size of the project.

Yes, there is scope for Booth Golf & Leisure to fund a Biodiversity Net Gain project. This would all depend on the size of the project, the more biodiversity you allow on your land the more likely it is that we can fund the entire project.

Water retention is the process of capturing, storing, and managing water to reduce reliance on external sources like mains water. It ensures a sustainable water supply for your golf courses.

Water retention reduces water costs, conserves resources, ensures year-round playability, and supports environmental sustainability, improving your club’s reputation and resilience against water shortages.

We implement tailored solutions such as rainwater harvesting systems, attenuation ponds, natural water storage features, optimised irrigation systems, and improved drainage to maximise water use efficiency.

Yes, only if your water retention project runs in conjunction with a funded soil importation golf course development.
