Living England Habitat Map
What this layer shows
Living England: Natural England's satellite-derived habitat prediction for every parcel of the country, with its confidence. A model, not a survey: use it to plan where to look, never as proof of what is there. 6.9 million segments, so it draws only when close in.
Not in the app's radius search: Too many features nationally to query by radius

Botanical
Built for a botanical survey or NVC walkover: every priority grassland, heathland and the Botanical Value Map, with SSSI and ancient woodland for context. These are the habitats where the species list is the point: unimproved calcareous and acid grassland, lowland meadows, upland hay meadows, purple moor grass and rush pasture, and the heaths. Turn it on before a site visit to see which compartments deserve the most time on the ground.
