Summary

'A high-resolution habitat map for England (LCM 3m)' is a national-scale 3 m resolution Land Cover Map for England. It was produced using a 12-month time series of analysis-ready PlanetScope monthly basemap imagery with contextual geospatial datasets and extensive training data to classify land cover into 72 categories, broadly aligned with the UK Habitat Classification framework (UKHab). A full description of the data set and production workflow is available in the LCM 3m product documentation.
