What GainScout tells you when it finds this
Planning context · context
Inside a National Landscape (the legal designation is still 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty'). Nature schemes often fit well here, but designs get extra scrutiny.
Checked against planning.data.gov.uk (Natural England) the moment you run a check, and stamped with the date.
Why it matters for Biodiversity Net Gain
A finding here does not block a habitat scheme by itself, but it shapes what is realistic on the land and how a scheme should be designed. It belongs in the picture before you commit to a site visit.
A check also asks the other 20 counted sources at the same time, so this finding always arrives in context.
