In these presets
Net gain
Habitat and connectivity for biodiversity net gain and offsetting work: the National Habitat Network, the full Priority Habitat Inventory, Local Nature Recovery Strategy areas, registered gain sites, ancient woodland, open mosaic habitat on previously developed land, agricultural land classification and live Environmental Stewardship agreements. The question this set answers is where a gain would actually connect to something.
Farm & land
Land grade, soils, nitrate rules and agreement land. England and Wales; Scotland has land capability and AECS that are not published as open services, and Northern Ireland has neither.
