Raised when

5. Area Habitats I33: the baseline area total (I32, excluding trees, green walls and hard structures) is not acceptable for the development type on the Desktop Assessment — 10,000 m² or more, 5,000 m² or more with an unknown number of dwellings, a footprint of 1,000 m² or more on a commercial or mixed site, "Over 9 dwellings", or a blank development type with any area entered.

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.
