Great Crested Newt - Risk Zones (Cheshire)
This dataset identifies areas where the distribution of great crested newts (GCN) has been categorised into district zones relating to GCN occurrence and the level of impact development is likely to have on this species. Red zones contain key populations of GCN, which are important on a regional, national or international scale and include designated Sites of Special Scientific Interest for GCN. Amber zones contain main population centres for GCN and comprise important connecting habitat that aids natural dispersal. Green zones contain sparsely distributed GCN and are less likely to contain important pathways of connecting habitat for this species. White zones contain no GCN. However, as most of England forms the natural range of GCN, white zones are rare and will only be used when it is certain that there are no GCN.

Data used to generate this derived data set includes the 2015 CEH Land Cover map (woodland, grassland, arable and urban land classifications), CEH Natural Capital (Soil pH and Soil Phosphorous), OS MasterMap (pond locations that have been converted by NE into pond densities), OS Open Rivers and OS Boundary Line (District Boundaries), Natural England GCN Class Licence Survey Returns, Cheshire East Council allocations and Cheshire West Council allocations. Great Crested Newt data was provided by the Cheshire and Wirral Amphibian and Reptile Group and Cheshire West and Chester Council.
