Somerset BNG Scheme

Trinity Farm Nature Reserve and Eastcombe Fields Nature Area are

located just outside of Wellington in Somerset LPA. They have been

developed by KS Coles, a family farm focused on environmentally

sound farming. The BNG scheme covers 27 hectares and provides a

rich mix of grassland, woodland, scrub, hedgerows, lakes and

watercourses.

​

The family is planning to designate the Trinity site as a Nature

Reserve to ensure it stands as a legacy and serves the community in Wellington for generations to come.

​

Trinity both completes the Wellington Green Corridor and will create a permanent ‘green wedge’ , bringing nature into the heart of Wellington. This presents significant opportunities for named

developers to sponsor the area, linking environmental responsibility directly to visible, place-based investment in Somerset’s natural future.

​

The two sites are designed to support a range of priority species and ecosystems. Beyond meeting statutory BNG requirements, these schemes represent a shift toward holistic, community-minded land stewardship.

​

KS Coles has taken a long-term view, with detailed management

and monitoring plans that ensure habitats not only meet biodiversity targets but flourish over time. The scheme has been created with sensitivity to local ecological networks, including corridors for protected species, water catchment improvement, and ecological connectivity between habitats.

​

The vision for Trinity Farm Nature Reserve is not just to create

biodiversity units, but to deliver a public good, a living, breathing

space for nature, backed by family values, ecological rigour, and a

genuine commitment to community legacy.
