Wigan Biodiversity/Ecology Study

The aims of the Biodiversity Study are to identify:

• the UK biodiversity priority habitats and regionally important habitats that are critical to the identity of the borough;
• sites that have the potential to support protected and biodiversity priority species;
• the areas where development pressures could threaten the ecology of the borough;
• where opportunities exist to invest in and enhance the landscape and biodiversity character; and
• gaps in the available data resources and determine where future work could be targeted.
