    Brief

    The government is seeking to develop and test a simplified watercourse condition assessment method for Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) purposes. Currently, the River Condition Assessment (RCA) survey is used to evaluate Priority River Habitats, other rivers and streams, and canals, with separate assessments for ditches. This opportunity involves exploring how a streamlined assessment approach could reduce costs, implementation burdens, and survey time while maintaining ecological standards. Work will examine how the simplified method integrates with existing RCA processes and whether a new distinctiveness category for heavily modified watercourses could alleviate BNG compliance pressures on development sites. The project aims to support proportionate assessment requirements, particularly for minor and medium developments, and ensure evaluations reflect the actual impact level and watercourse characteristics, as determined by competent ecologists.
