Facts shown for each feature
Feature
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.
Contaminated land
Old landfills, regulated waste sites and the water beneath them. England only, and no geology, superficial deposits or radon: those are not published as open national services for Great Britain, so a ground report still has to be commissioned.
