Open Mosaic Habitats on Previously Developed Land

Open Mosaic Habitats on Previously Developed Land (pdf full description)

Approximate Extent – Unknown

Distribution – Across the Peak District, but more frequent in the White Peak

Opportunities and Threats

Extent -  Very limited.  Generally small and associated with built-up areas.

Condition – Unknown, but interest likely to be inherently limited compared to other areas nationally.  Some amenity value but again probably limited given extent of other accessible “green space” in the area.

Connectivity -  Probably very low.

Climate change risks – No significant risks identified.

Priorities

Generally low inherent value compared with extent of high quality habitats mean this habitat is generally a low priority for action in the Peak District.
