The Statutory Biodiversity Metric

Visit Tool

The Statutory Biodiversity Metric, published by Defra in November 2023, provides tools and guides for measuring the biodiversity value of habitat for biodiversity net gain. The tools and guidance are supplemented by a Small Sites Metric, intended for small developments that do not fall within the meaning of major development and where no priority habitat is present. It has been designed for use in England.
