Development description
Existing (pre-development) habitats
Add each distinct habitat type present on site before development. Use UKHab classification where possible.
Use the UK Habitat Classification (UKHab) system. For each habitat, enter the total area, condition, and distinctiveness as assessed during your Phase 1 survey. Condition should reflect the DEFRA metric condition assessment criteria.
Proposed (post-development) habitats
Add each habitat type that will be created or retained following development, including any habitat enhancements.
Include all habitats to be retained within the development footprint, plus any new habitat creation within the site or in the off-site gain area. Distinguish clearly between on-site and off-site gains.
