What GainScout tells you when it finds this
Designations · warns
This point is inside a Special Protection Area — internationally protected for birds, with strict rules on any works.
Checked against planning.data.gov.uk (JNCC/Natural England) the moment you run a check, and stamped with the date.
Why it matters for Biodiversity Net Gain
A finding here usually limits what a BNG scheme can claim on this land, or adds consents and conditions before any work can start. Better to know from your desk than after a site visit.
A check also asks the other 20 counted sources at the same time, so this finding always arrives in context.
