Review of national core biodiversity indicator within Local Development Framework Annual Monitoring Reports Acknowledgments Appendices A – Environment Agency General Quality Assurance Scheme B1 - Condition data for Bedfordshire SSSIs B2 - Condition data for Bedfordshire CWSs C – NI 197 baseline data D – Extracts from local Annual Monitoring Reports Introduction In 2001 the Greensand Trust was commissioned to investigate and develop a set of indicators which would give a broad picture of the health of the natural environment of Bedfordshire. Baseline data for an initial set of indicators was produced in 2003; wherever possible results were given at district as well as county level. This indicator set has been updated and reported on regularly since then. The introduction of a new national biodiversity indicator for local authorities has prompted a reporting round more promptly then would otherwise have been the case to allow local authorities to report as necessary.
