BiodiversityView
Objective biodiversity intelligence for better land, asset and investment decisions.
Know your nature-related risks, constraints and opportunities
BiodiversityView provides land parcel level biodiversity intelligence across Great Britain, helping organisations understand how assets and land interact with sensitive environments. Supporting planning, infrastructure, investment and land management workflows, it identifies nature-related risks, regulatory constraints and restoration opportunities while supporting Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) compliance and evidence-based decision-making.
Instantly screen sites
Rapidly assess assets, land portfolios and development opportunities for biodiversity risks, constraints and nature-positive opportunities. BiodiversityView supports site selection, development feasibility, infrastructure planning and Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) assessments, while providing the evidence needed for risk management, sustainability reporting and emerging frameworks such as TNFD.
Biodiversity Intelligence
Access detailed biodiversity insights through parcel-level habitat mapping, ecological sensitivity scoring and habitat condition assessment.
BiodiversityView identifies priority, protected, irreplaceable and highly distinctive habitats, delivering a robust understanding of biodiversity value aligned with the principles of the DEFRA Biodiversity Metric.
Consistent National Coverage
Achieve a uniform view of biodiversity across Great Britain with comprehensive parcel-level coverage and standardised habitat classification. Consistent methodologies enable reliable comparison between sites, regions and portfolios, supporting informed decisions at both individual asset and enterprise scale.
Condition Scoring
Unique, satellite based, biodiversity condition scoring approach, validated by in field ecology ground truthing.
Governance-Ready Outputs
Generate transparent, auditable biodiversity evidence suitable for planning, compliance, governance and disclosure requirements. Structured outputs integrate easily into organisational workflows, providing a trusted foundation for decision-making, reporting and regulatory engagement.
Radically Transparent Modeling
Detailed Habitats
Over 60 habitat types mapped in detail. Irreplaceable and highly distinctive habitats are called out to highlight protected areas.
Nationwide Consistency
A unique, satellite based approach ensures consistent, nationwide habitat condition scoring.
Verified Accuracy
Data is verified through seasonal ground truthing and regional benchmarking to ensure highest scientific integrity.
Strategic Applications
How can BiodiversityView support your organisation?
Local Authorities and Regulators
Support planning assessments, biodiversity screening and policy development with a consistent evidence base for Local Nature Recovery Strategies, land-use planning and environmental decision-making.
Financial Services and Investment
Screen portfolios for nature-related risks, assess exposure to biodiversity constraints, support TNFD-aligned processes and strengthen investment, lending and stewardship decisions.
Planning, Development and Real Estate
Identify biodiversity constraints at the earliest stages of site selection, reduce planning uncertainty, support BNG strategies and improve development feasibility assessments.
Utilities and Infrastructure
Inform route selection, site planning and long-term infrastructure resilience by identifying biodiversity-sensitive areas and potential regulatory constraints before projects progress.
The Narrative of Nature
BiodiversityView goes beyond simple mapping. We model the holistic health of ecosystems consistently across Great Britain.
- Asset-level insight delivers biodiversity intelligence directly aligned to land parcels and real-world assets, enabling precise and location-specific decision-making.
- Consistent, transparent methodologies provide comparable results across sites, portfolios and regions, supporting robust screening, benchmarking and governance.
- Compliance-ready outputs support Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG), planning requirements and emerging nature-risk frameworks through auditable, explainable ecological indicators.
Local Nature Recovery Strategy
Map Impact was commissioned by Wiltshire Council to support the mapping component of their Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS).
- Mapped biodiversity opportunities using advanced habitat modelling, connectivity analysis and geospatial intelligence.
- Identified priority locations for nature recovery and habitat restoration.
- Created an evidence-based mapping framework for strategic decision-making.
