The phase 1 habitat classification and associated field survey technique provides a relatively rapid system to record semi-natural vegetation and other wildlife habitats. Each habitat type is defined by way of a brief description and is allocated a specific name, alpha-numeric code and unique mapping colour. The system has been widely used and continues to act as the standard phase 1 technique for habitat survey across the UK. The ecology survey area was walked, habitats were inspected and delineated directly onto 1:10,000 Ordnance Survey maps using standard phase 1 alphanumeric notation. Target notes (TNs) were made to highlight features of interest or any aspect too small to be mapped, these were supported by photos and GPS coordinates.
