Flood Map for Planning - Flood Zones

The Flood Map for Planning Service includes several layers of information. This includes the Flood Zones data which shows the extent of land at present day risk of flooding from rivers and the sea, ignoring the benefits of defences, for the following scenarios:

•	Flood Zone 1 – Land having a less than 0.1% (1 in 1000) annual probability of flooding.
•	Flood Zone 2 – Land having between 0.1% - 1% (1 in 100 to 1 in 1000) annual probability of flooding from rivers or between 0.1% - 0.5% (1 in 200 to 1 in 1000) annual probability of flooding from the sea, and accepted recorded flood outlines  .
•	Flood Zone 3   – Areas shown to be at a 1% (1 in 100) or greater annual probability of flooding from rivers or, 0.5% (1 in 200) or greater annual probability of flooding from the sea.

Flood Zone 1 is not shown in this dataset, but covers all areas not contained within Flood Zones 2 and 3.
Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) use the Flood Zones to determine if they must consult the Environment Agency on planning applications. They are also used to determine if development is incompatible and whether development is subject to the exception test. The Flood Zones are one of several flood risk datasets used to determine the need for planning applications to be supported by a Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) and subject to the sequential test.

The Flood Zones are a composite dataset including national and local modelled data, and information from past floods.

The Flood Zones are designed to only give an indication of flood risk to an area of land and are not suitable for showing whether an individual property is at risk of flooding. This is because we cannot know all the details about each property.

Users of these datasets should always check they are suitable for the intended use.

Please note, if downloading data for an area of interest, all polygons that intersect this area will be provided. Some polygons may be quite large and extend beyond the drawn area of interest.  Any polygons that do not intersect the area of interest will not be provided. Please check your area of interest is sufficient or use the data feeds (e.g. WMS) to view the latest available data for all of England.

Environmental Permitting Regulations - Waste Sites Quarterly Summary

A waste management licence was a legal document issued under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. A licence authorised the treatment keeping or disposal of waste in or on the land. 

The Environmental Permitting Regulations (EPR) regulating waste sites came into force on 6 April 2008. The new regime combines a number of earlier permitting / licensing regimes including this one.

Other related datasets available are: 
- EPR Industrial Sites (formerly PPC)
- Water Quality and Pollution Control (Discharge Consents)

Facilities covered by this legislation are known as Installations or Waste Operations and include permitted operational and closed landfill sites.  

Further information on the Environmental Permitting Regulations (EPR) and the IPPC directive is available on www.gov.uk

This dataset covers all permitted landfill sites within the EPR regime and may be installations or waste operations.

Environmental Permitting Regulations - Industrial Sites Quarterly Summary

The Environmental Permitting Regulations amongst other things implement the IPPC (Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control) Directive (EC/61/96) in England and Wales. Facilities covered by this legislation are known as Installations and generally have significant releases to air land or water or carry out certain larger scale waste management activities.  Further information on the Environmental Permitting Regulations (EPR) and the IPPC directive is available on our website or at www.defra.gov.uk 
This dataset covers all Process Industry sites within the EPR regime and some larger waste activities. Other smaller waste facilities are known as 'Waste Operations' (formerly known as Waste Management Licences) and are covered in a separate dataset see below.

North of Tyne Local Nature Recovery Strategy - Boundary

For the Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) which was adopted in March 2026. This defines the strategy's boundary. A combination of the 3 authority areas (Northumberland, Newcastle, and North Tyneside) plus a voluntary marine extension to cover various designations of Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs), Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), and Special Protection Areas (SPAs). 

At Berwick-upon-Tweed the Marine Plan Area was used to determine the marine boundary between England and Scotland. Some manual adjustments were made to form a point to the tip of Tynemouth Pier and the centre line of the Tyne estuary, and holes in these designations filled in to make a sensible marine area.

The three MCZs we used for the project area are: Aln Estuary, Coquet to St Mary’s, Berwick to St Mary’s. The five SPAs we used for the project area are: Coquet Island, Farne Islands, Lindisfarne, Northumberland Marine, and Northumbria Coast. The SAC we used for the project area is: Berwickshire & North Northumberland Coast – this was adjusted using a marine boundary between England and Scotland.

Predictive Agricultural Land Classification Map for England

Predictive Agriculture Land Classification Map is a strategic scale (1:250, 000 user scale) agricultural land classification map for England that includes the subdivision grade 3 land according to current ALC guidelines. 
The Agricultural Land Classification (ALC) system assesses land's inherent agricultural capability based on soil, climate, and site characteristics. Land is graded from Grade 1 (excellent) to Grade 5 (very poor). Grades 1, 2, and 3a are considered Best and Most Versatile (BMV). 
The Predictive ALC Map is a significant update from the Provisional ALC Map providing a consistent, spatially comprehensive national view of land quality across England. The current ALC grading follows the 1988 MAFF guidelines, which introduced the 3a/3b subdivision for BMV land.

ROS - Cadastral Parcels - DATASET

INSPIRE Cadastral Parcels is a dataset maintained and produced by the Registers of Scotland to comply with the INSPIRE Directive. It is a sub-set of the Cadastral Map and contains the location of ownership polygons at ground level in Scotland. The polygons contained within the dataset are shapes that show the position and indicative extent of ownership of the earth’s surface for each registered property. Each cadastral parcel has a unique identifier called the inspire id that relates to a registered title on Scotland’s Land Register. The extent of rights and land contained within a title registered in the land register cannot be established from the cadastral parcel. For more detailed information on land and property data in Scotland you can search free at https://scotlis.ros.gov.uk/.

  Right to contest

The Government has introduced The Right to Contest, which provides a process to challenge government to sell land or property if you believe it’s not needed and could be put to better economic use. Further information and details of the application process can be found on the Government website here.

  Licensing

A full dataset version including the Geox, GeoY and UPRN derived from Ordnance Survey data can only be released for using the data to respond to, or interact with the Licensor to deliver or support the delivery of the Licensor’s Core Business” due to OS licensing restrictions under a PSMA end user licence.

Deer Count - Deer Density

Deer group locations and sizes are used in assessing deer populations living on the ‘open range’. ‘Open range’ generally means open areas of habitat used mainly by red deer (for example, heather moorland). From the outset it is important to be clear that although the terms ‘count’ or ‘census’ are used, open range counting enables a population estimate to be made, but with associated error margins. Research has shown that, normally, estimates will vary by between 5 and 16%. In other words if you count 415 deer then the population estimate is at best between 348 and 481 (or at very best between 394 and 435). Open range population counts (and their resulting estimates) are therefore most likely to be useful for setting broad targets or giving an index of deer numbers as opposed to very precise population models. They are also useful for indicating trends in a series of counts.
Count information can be obtained by joining table DEER_COUNT_INDEX based on COUNT_ID columns.
Both Helicopter and ground counts are included in the data. The majority of the data were collected in ‘white ground’ conditions where the contrast between deer and the background of snow is maximised enabling deer to be more easily spotted.
Summer counts of 'Priority' sites are also included where sites have been counted more intensively.
