SSSI Impact Risk Zones (England)

SSSI IRZs

Abstract

The Impact Risk Zones (IRZs) are a GIS tool developed by Natural England to make a rapid initial assessment of the potential risks posed by development proposals to: Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs), Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), Special Protection Areas (SPAs) and Ramsar sites. They define zones around each site which reflect the particular sensitivities of the features for which it is notified and indicate the types of development proposal which could potentially have adverse impacts. Resource locators listed are: 1) Mapinfo TAB file download from Amazon Cloud 2) ESRI Shapefile download from Amazon Cloud 3) Natural England Open Data Portal Page 4) Guidance document download from Amazon Cloud Attribution statement: © Natural England copyright.
