Summary

This page is where you show the extent to which the work you plan to do will damage hedgerows or watercourse habitats. This is damage that is different to your intended works (for example, you probably won’t keep a hedgerow right up to the wall of a new building).
​
In this step, use a version of our mapping tool to quickly indicate how much of each hedgerow and watercourse habitat you’re actually going to impact with your works.

You only need to do this stage if you have hedgerows or linear water courses on your site. If you don't have any such habitats, you will see a screen like the one below. When that happens, please press "Continue".
