About the LBAP

The South Somerset Biodiversity Action Plan was prepared by the Somerset Environmental Records Centre (SERC) at the request of South Somerset District Council. It set out to review biodiversity resource within the district, evaluate its importance within a local, national and European context and to identify the priority actions that need to be taken to conserve local biodiversity.

The study built on the work of SERC over several years, during which intensive survey and collation of biological records has been undertaken within the district in support of the Council's functions. South Somerset District Council is carrying out a review of the BAP in 2004-5 in collaboration with the Somerset Biodiversity Steering Group which is aiming to review all of the Somerset LBAPS. There has been good progress with most of the habitat action plans, especially headwater streams, ponds and hedgerows.
