District Level Licensing Strategic Opportunity Areas for Great Crested Newts in Cambridgeshire

Abstract

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 (within 250m) and are located within a 25x25m square where great crested newt presence has been predicted. Fringe areas contain a pond density of 1 and are located within a 25x25m 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: Density of arable land 0-50% Density of coniferous woodland 10-25% Density of deciduous woodland 10-100% Distance from deciduous woodland 0-100m Density of grassland 25-75% Nearest pond 0-125m pH 6.5-7.5 Distance from rivers 150-1000m These suitable habitat features have been given a score of ‘1’. All scores are summed, scores ≤ 0 are not displayed Urban areas > 2ha (+250m buffer), roads (7.5m) and rivers (7.5m) have been excluded. © Natural England, 2020 Based upon LCM2015 © NERC (CEH) 2017.
