Strategic significance forms part of the government’s Biodiversity Metric and helps identify where habitat creation or enhancement will deliver the greatest ecological benefit.
This guidance is intended for ecological advisors, planning applicants, and landowners seeking to identify suitable sites for Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) delivery within Wealden District and will be updated and replaced once the Sussex Local Nature Recovery Strategy is published.
