Abstract

This is a spatial dataset that describes the geographic extent and location of Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act (2006) Section 41 habitats of principal importance. This inventory replaces Natural England's previous separate BAP habitat inventories: blanket bog, coastal & floodplain grazing marsh, coastal sand dunes, coastal vegetated shingle, deciduous woodland, fens, lowland calcareous grassland, lowland dry acid grassland, lowland heathland, lowland meadows, lowland raised bog, limestone pavements, maritime cliff and slope, mudflats, purple moor grass & rush pastures, reedbeds, saline lagoons, traditional orchards, undetermined grassland, upland calcareous grassland, upland hay meadows and upland heathland. These earlier inventories were produced from 1999 onwards and derived from habitat datasets collated from across the country, prioritising areas outside of designated sites. Inconsistencies in the quality of the underpinning data meant that the inventories were of variable quality with significant overlaps between habitats and gaps in coverage.

Download and API links are provided for Defra Data Services Platform and the Natural England Open Data Geoportal. By merging all three datasets together you can create a full coverage dataset of England. These datasets do not overlap to facilitate this. Attribution statement: © Natural England copyright.
