- The shares of the land under crops, grass and trees, and how much is already priority habitat.
- Farmland grade

- Designations

Why these rules
Natural England names 27 nutrient neutrality catchments, each with its own calculator; credits come from changing the use of farmland, or from new wetland or woodland, inside the catchment (Natural England). Grade 5 land is mostly rough grazing, which saves little nutrient when its use changes. Woodland is left out.
