Site area limited by unknown number of dwellings ⚠

Raised when

Residential development with an unknown number of dwellings: the small sites limit drops to 5,000 m².

To clear it

State the number of dwellings if it is known; otherwise keep the site under 5,000 m² or use the main metric.

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.
