The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Priority habitat: No main habitat but additional habitats present
A habitat of principal importance. It shapes the ecology work and the biodiversity net gain a scheme has to show.
Also on the record
