The London Ecology Unit (LEU) provided advice to London boroughs on nature conservation issues between 1986 and 2000. It published a series of handbooks, some on specific conservation issues, and some which gave detailed descriptions of Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINCs) in each borough. The handbooks provided a basis for addressing nature conservation in the boroughs' Unitary Development Plans, and for policy decisions in planning and leisure services.[1]

History

In 1982 the Greater London Council (GLC) established an Ecology Team, which commissioned the London Wildlife Trust to undertake a survey of wildlife sites in London. The GLC was abolished in 1986, but the work of the Ecology Team was carried on by the LEU, working to a joint committee of London boroughs, the London Ecology Committee. In April 2000 the LEU was merged into the newly established Greater London Authority.[1][2]
