Description:
Note: Data is only downloadable and accessible through APIs on the Natural England Open Data Geoportal.  The feature geometry is not displaying in the ArcGIS Online Map Viewer.  The issue is under investigation with the supplier.

This dataset identifies areas where the addition of new ponds would benefit Great Crested Newt populations.
The core areas contain a pond density of 2+ ponds and are located within a 25m square where great crested newt presence has been predicted.
Fringe areas contain a pond density of 1 and are located within a 25m square where great crested newt presence has been predicted or are within a 250m of a Core Area.

Higher scores are associated with darker colouration and represent a greater presence of suitable habitat features:
grassland density 25 - 75%
woodland density 5 - 75%
Distance from rivers >1000m
Soil pH 6.5 to 7.5  Phosphorus  30 to 40
These suitable habitat features have been given a score of ‘1’.

Arable land (density 50 - 100%) and Heather (density 33.33 - 100%) have been given a score of ‘-1’. 

Roads (7.5m), rivers (7.5m) and Environment Agency Flood Zone 2 have been excluded.
