Title

Natura 2000 habitat classes

Abstract

Habitat classes for each Natura 2000 site (SAC and SPA). Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) are strictly protected sites designated under the EC Habitats Directive. Special Protection Areas (SPA) are classified under the EC Birds Directive. This dataset is derived from the UK wide data submitted to the EU Commmission as part of the Standard Data Form updating exercise on 22 December 2015 (Tranche 50) . It contains details for both SACs and SPAs - there is one row in the dataset for each combination of individual site and habitat classs. The list of habitat classes is as defined at the EU level. This dataset relates to section 4.1 of the Standard Data form
