Representation Summary:
Section 6.22: Regarding the requirement for the Biodiversity Survey and Report to contain a Phase 1 habitat survey, it is important to note that in the near future, the UK Habitat Classification is set to replace the Phase 1 Habitat Survey method as the standard survey method used as part of Preliminary Ecological Appraisals. The UK Habitat Classification is the preferred survey method used to inform the Defra Metric for biodiversity net gain calculations; it is therefore advised that reference is made to both Phase 1 and the UK Habs Classification.
