Summary

This dataset identifies areas where the addition of new ponds would benefit Great Crested Newt populations.

The core areas contain a pond density of 2+ ponds and are located within a 1km square where great crested newt presence has been predicted.

Fringe areas contain a pond density of 1 and are located within a 1km square where great crested newt presence has been predicted or are within a 250m of a Core Area.

Higher scores are associated with darker colouration and represent a greater presence of suitable habitat features:

grassland density 25 - 75% distrance from woodland < 100m woodland density 15 – 75% arable density 0 – 25% Distance from rivers <1500m pH 6.75 – 7.25

These suitable habitat features have been given a score of ‘1’.

Urban areas greater than 2ha (+400m buffer), roads (7.5m), rivers (7.5m) and Environment Agency Flood Zone 2 have been excluded. © Natural England, 2020 Based upon LCM2015 © NERC (CEH) 2011.
