How change the date format of url field of biblatex package?

Question

I need to print, for instance, 15 October 2022 and not the 15th October 2022. I found a similar question old_solution where it is reported to use the australian language since it formats the dates according my wish. I would want to avoid using another language. Here my settings for language and biblatex:

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[british]{babel}

\usepackage[%
    backend=biber,
    citestyle=numeric-comp, % authoryear
    bibstyle=numeric-comp, % authoryear,
    doi=false,url=true,isbn=false,
%   sorting=nyt,% none
    hyperref=true,
%   %style=apa,
    block=ragged,      
    urldate=long,      
    dateabbrev=false,  
    natbib=true]{biblatex}

How can I solve the issue?

Answer 1

The relevant language-dependent macro is \mkbibdatelong whose definition in british.lbx you'll find in ll. 20-31. We want to get rid of the ordinal day number, so we go with

\documentclass[british]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}

\usepackage[%
  backend=biber,
  style=numeric-comp,
  doi=false,url=true,isbn=false,
  block=ragged,      
  urldate=long,      
  dateabbrev=false,  
]{biblatex}

\DefineBibliographyExtras{british}{%
  \protected\def\mkbibdatelong#1#2#3{%
    \iffieldundef{#3}
      {}
      {\stripzeros{\thefield{#3}}%
       \iffieldundef{#2}{}{\nobreakspace}}%
    \iffieldundef{#2}
      {}
      {\mkbibmonth{\thefield{#2}}%
       \iffieldundef{#1}{}{\space}}%
    \iffieldbibstring{#1}
      {\bibstring{\thefield{#1}}}
      {\dateeraprintpre{#1}\stripzeros{\thefield{#1}}}}%
}
