The row is a very-high-distinctiveness or irreplaceable habitat with area lost, and bespoke compensation is not recorded as agreed.

To clear it

Avoid the loss, or record the agreed bespoke compensation on the row and evidence it in the report.

See every flag your metric raised, on one page. Drop the workbook on the Check page and Quadrat gathers each ▲ and ⚠ it wrote, with these notes beside it, plus what a planning officer will ask that the metric never flags.

This is one of 98 flag strings the GOV.UK statutory biodiversity metric 1.0.4 and small sites metric 1.2.3 write into cells. Explained from the workbooks' own formulas; where the statutory metric user guide's troubleshooting table covers a flag, the page says so.
