Flood risk

What GainScout tells you when it finds this

Constraints · context

This land can flood. That's not always bad for BNG — wet grassland and ponds are valuable habitats — but think about access and what you'd build.

Checked against planning.data.gov.uk (Environment Agency) 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.
