Wetland
Bog, fen, reedbed, marsh and open water. Blanket and raised bog, lowland fens, reedbeds, upland flushes, priority ponds and lakes, coastal and floodplain grazing marsh, and chalk rivers: with Ramsar sites and nutrient neutrality catchments, because on a wetland site the hydrology and the nutrient budget are usually the same conversation.
Planning
The constraints that shape a red line: SSSI Impact Risk Zones, Green Belt, the Flood Map for Planning zones and storage areas with present-day rivers-and-sea risk, Agricultural Land Classification (both the provisional national map and the more reliable post-1988 surveys), nutrient neutrality catchments, National Parks, National Landscapes and Local Nature Recovery Strategy areas. Useful for a constraints plan or an early feasibility check before any ecology is commissioned.
