Facts shown for each feature
Designated
In these presets
Planning
The constraints that shape a red line: SSSI Impact Risk Zones, Green Belt, the Flood Map for Planning zones and storage areas with present-day rivers-and-sea risk, Agricultural Land Classification (both the provisional national map and the more reliable post-1988 surveys), nutrient neutrality catchments, National Parks, National Landscapes and Local Nature Recovery Strategy areas. Useful for a constraints plan or an early feasibility check before any ecology is commissioned.
Visiting
Walks, parks and places worth the trip: the map for a day out.
Landscape character
What the landscape is, before what is protected: character areas, LANDMAP, wild land and the scenic designations.
