We welcome Ecological Network and Strategic Mapping to provide robust, up-to-date and comprehensive evidence. These should build on the NIA ecological network mapping and Natural England's Green Infrastructure and Pinch Point Mapping. The LNP can provide advice on their scope and methods.
We would also particularly welcome a review of land outside designated sites to identify further sites meeting SINC selection criteria. These may not have been assessed since 1977 and could have changed dramatically. NIA mapping provides a robust framework to target survey effort.
We would also welcome a review of data-sets regarding Geological Heritage Consideration Zones.
