Summary

This record is for Approval for Access product AfA319. The Priority Habitat Creation and Restoration GIS dataset lists projects undertaken by the Environment Agency to create new priority habitats and restore existing priority habitats. The majority of projects were undertaken in partnership with other organisations. Priority habitat creation and restoration is part of the England Biodiversity Strategy. The UK Biodiversity Action Plan defined Priority habitats as those habitats most threatened and requiring conservation.
This dataset indicates the year in which the projects were completed. The year period is April 1st to March 31st, from April 2009 onwards. This dataset now includes those habitats defined as wildlife-rich in the Environmental Improvement Plan (EIP). Attribution statement: © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2015.
