Heritage Coast
What GainScout tells you when it finds this
Planning context · context
On a defined Heritage Coast — a protected stretch of undeveloped coastline. Habitat work can suit it, but development is tightly controlled.
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.
