description=Semi-automated Great Crested Newt Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) calculator based on Oldham et al. (2000).
about=Calculates the Great Crested Newt (GCN) Habitat Suitability Index for up to 10 candidate ponds per run. v1.2 adds Sentinel-2 NDWI-based auto-calculation of pond permanence (SI3) and NBN Atlas historical waterfowl data lookup (SI7) for Remote Assessments. Automates SI1-SI6 scoring using national spatial datasets and habitat data, supports remote and full HSI assessments, per-pond overrides, and road barrier detection to exclude habitats and ponds on the far side of road features from scoring. Output is a polygon layer with per-pond HSI scores and traffic-light symbology.
