Welcome to the portal for the draft Nottinghamshire and Nottingham Local Nature Recovery Strategy Local Habitat Map.
Please read the following information before you look at the draft Local Habitat Map:
-
There is a user guide on the LNRS webpage to explain how to use the map.
-
The map should be viewed alongside the written Statement of Biodiversity Priorities – the map and the statement both make up the draft LNRS.
-
The map shows Areas of Particular Importance for Biodiversity (APIBs), Mapped Measures, and Areas that Could Become of Particular Importance for Biodiversity (ACBs). See sections 6.1 and 6.2 of the Statement of Biodiversity Priorities for further explanation.
-
There may be ecological, historic environment or other constraints at a mapped location which could affect the feasibility of delivery, and which need to be considered before carrying out a project. See section 6.3 of the Statement of Biodiversity Priorities for further explanation.
-
The Mapped Measures are made up of a number of different mapping approaches, including site-specific locations, landscape areas and buffers. Where a Mapped Measure is located over an area of built development such as a road or buildings, or an area of existing ecological value, it is not intended that these would be removed to make way for new habitat, so a commonsense interpretation is required. See section 6.4 of the Statement of Biodiversity Priorities for further explanation.
-
The inclusion of a location in the draft map does not require the landowner or other agencies to deliver the Potential Measures listed or prevent other legitimate land uses from taking place.
