Summary

This is an extract of the Priority Habitat Inventory spatial dataset (that describes the geographic extent and location of Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act (2006) Section 41 habitats of principal importance), taken from version 2.1. Land mapped as coastal floodplain grazing marsh; purple moor grass and rush pasture and lowland meadow identified as already support breeding waders or with high potential to be restored for breeding waders have been extracted to form this eligibility layer, with ineligible habitat overlaps removed. GS9 and GS10 are management options in the Countryside Stewardship scheme, designed to maintain or restore wet grassland for breeding wading birds through provision of feeding habitat and a suitable sward structure for nesting (GS9), or to provide suitable habitat for wintering wildfowl and wading birds on wet grassland (GS10).These can be selected for Higher Tier agreements, and are available to Mid Tier agreements with approval from Natural England. This layer will be used as a simple check to illustrate to applicants where this option may be eligible. Attribution statement: © Natural England copyright.
