This report outlines an analysis of nationally available datasets to generate a new map of priority lake habitat for England.
In addition to explaining the development of the new priority habitat map, this report provides advice on how the map might best be used, how to target and prioritise restoration activity on lakes that do not feature on the map, and how to identify and give recognition to any restoration works that contribute to wider priority lake habitat objectives.
This report will support the Environment Agency consultation process on the update to River Basin Plans.
