The Natural Capital Assessment Partnership Manager is responsible for managing the Natural Capital Assessment Partnership (NCAP), which undertakes projects that gather and analyse natural capital data and manage the Local Wildlife Site programme for the region. This data is then used to inform nature recovery strategies, local state of environment reports, local plans, planning applications and other nature recovery decision making.

The Natural Capital Assessment Partnership (NCAP) has operated for over 30 years. Formerly the Habitat Biodiversity Audit, a key remit of NCAP has been to survey and gather habitat data across Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull, combining ecological field surveys with pioneering satellite imagery and remote sensing analysis. A second key aspect of NCAP’s work is managing the Local Wildlife Sites programme for the region.

Data acquired and produced by the team supports Local Wildlife Site designations, Local Nature Recovery Strategy development and monitoring, and creates baseline habitat reports and statistics. This localised yet UK-leading dataset provides robust evidence for decision‑making and monitoring, plus a unique record of land‑use change over the past two decades. Combined with Biological Records Centre species data, it offers an unrivalled picture of the local state of nature.

NCAP is funded by local authorities, managed by Warwickshire Wildlife Trust and hosted by Warwickshire County Council.
