The information will be used as inputs for establishing the existing ecological value of sites via Natural England's Biodiversity Metric, in order to both implement BNG and designate non-statutory sites through the Local Plan. The information should be based on a sound methodology and industry best practice. The outputs should be mapped, visual and digitally orientated. Work should be undertaken by suitably qualified and experienced consultant.
