I have not found any specific mention of ponds. These can have a significant beneficial effect on biodiversity.
Enhancement of the infrastructure for wildlife, such as (as suggested) trees, bat boxes and swift boxes, is good, but measurement of any gain should also take into account adverse effects of general disturbance, noise, light and domestic animals, particularly cats.
