Reduction in Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea Due to Defenses (Environment Agency)

Reduction in Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea due to Defences is a spatial dataset that indicates where areas have reduced flood risk from rivers and sea due to the presence of flood defences. The dataset has been created to help initiate conversations about the impact our flood defences have on the risk of flooding from the rivers and sea,and as a prompt to find out more about the flood defences in a particular area of interest. It does not replace any local, more detailed information. NOTE: We have paused quarterly updates of this dataset. Please visit the “Pause to Updates of Flood Risk Maps” announcement on our support pages for further information. We will provide notifications on the Check Your Long-Term Flood Risk and Flood Map for Planning websites to indicate where we have new flood risk information.
Sandbanks (EMODnet)

This dataset contains a shapefile that shows the potential and high confidence mapped extents of Annex I habitat 'Sandbank' within the boundaries of the UK continental shelf. 'Sandbank' here refers to the habitat (1110) listed under Annex I of EC Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora – commonly known as the Habitats Directive. JNCC recommends using the accompanying ESRI or QGIS layer file to view the extent of Annex I feature 'Sandbanks which are slightly covered by sea water all the time'. This dataset is presented in its most detailed form so you can fully interrogate the dataset and all its underlying attributes representing the underlying logic and data sources resulting in areas of 'Potential' or 'High' confidence Annex I Sandbanks. Where areas of Sandbank contain differing underlying attributes, descriptor values or data sources, a single Annex I feature may be represented by multiple polygons. These subdivisions are irrelevant in terms of the overall extent of the feature. Additional information source: Pinder, J. (2020).

Shoreline Management Plan (Environment Agency)

This record is for Approval for Access product AfA196. This dataset identifies which second generation Shoreline Management Plan is applicable to a particular stretch of coastline. It also identifies the policies which are applicable. It is a polyline, spatial data layer. A Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) is a large-scale assessment of the risks associated with coastal processes and helps reduce these risks to people and the developed, historic and natural environments. Coastal processes include tidal patterns, wave height, wave direction and the movement of beach and seabed materials. The SMPs provide a ‘route map’ for local authorities and other decision makers to move from the present situation towards meeting our future needs, and will identify the most sustainable approaches to managing the risks to the coast in the short term (0-20 years), medium term (20-50 years) and long term (50-100 years). INFORMATION WARNING This dataset was created for the purposes of creating a strategic overview map; as a consequence it was created at a notional scale of 1:250,000, this means that the definition of the breakpoints and the accuracy to which the SMP lengths reflect the 'coastline' is suitable for strategic level use only. Consideration should be given as to whether it should be replaced by a more accurate representation. More detailed representations of the SMP boundaries may be available at Local/Regional level. Costing information is at a broad scale and indicative only. It not appropriate for any detailed costings work, or for identifying planned capital expenditure. This dataset contains hyperlinks to websites operated by other parties. We do not control such websites and we take no responsibility for, and will not incur any liability in respect of, their content. Our inclusion of hyperlinks to such websites does not imply any endorsement of views, statements or information contained in such websites.
Town Centres (Greater London Authority)

Town centres provide a range of commercial, cultural and civic activities, including shopping, leisure, employment, entertainment, culture, and social and community facilities. Their vitality and viability should be promoted to ensure they retain their importance. There are five broad types of town centres according to their scales and roles: International centres, Metropolitan centres, Major centres, District centres and Neighbourhood and more local centres. The GIS files show the indicative boundaries, please contact the relevant London Borough to confirm accuracy. NOTE: The boundaries are based on Ordnance Survey mapping and the data is published under Ordnance Survey's 'presumption to publish'.Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2019.

Urban Tree Challenge Fund Priority People For England

The Urban Tree Challenge Fund (UTCF) is a Forestry Commission England wide grant scheme that was launched in 2019 for the creation of woodland in or nearby urban areas. The UTCF Trees Priority People layer defines the top 40 percent most deprived Lower Layer Super Output Areas (LSOA) across England and is one of the three qualification layers that are used to determine grant allocation. The dataset was created using the Office for National Statistics LSOA boundaries and the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD): England, 2013 to 2015.
Census 2021 Ethnic Group, National Identity, Language and Religion Ethnic Group - TS021

Office for National Statistics' national and subnational Census 2021. Ethnic group This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify usual residents in England and Wales by ethnic group. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021. Ethnic group definition: The ethnic group that the person completing the census feels they belong to. This could be based on their culture, family background, identity or physical appearance. Respondents could choose one out of 19 tick-box response categories, including write-in response options. Comparability with 2011: Broadly comparable. The question about the ethnic group people feel they belong to is self-identified and is subjectively meaningful to the person answering the question. This means that how a person chooses to identify can change over time. We have included a new Roma category next to the Gypsy or Irish Traveller tick-box within the White category. We have also added a write-in option for those selecting African within the Black, Caribbean or Black British category. This means that a more specific ethnic background could be recorded. This data is issued at [(BGC) Generalised (20m)] boundary type for: * Country - England and Wales * Region - England * UTLA - England and Wales * LTLA - England and Wales * Ward - England and Wales * MSOA - England and Wales * LSOA - England and Wales * OA - England and Wales If you require the data at full resolution boundaries, or if you are interested in the range of statistical data that Esri UK make available in ArcGIS Online please enquire at content@esriuk.com.

MMO_Marine_Character_areas

The National Marine Character Area (MCA) dataset for England (MMO 1134) is the resultant merged layer of the individual MCA datasets produced for the previous seascape character assessment reports (north east, east, south east, south, south west and north west Marine Plan Areas). The National Marine Character Area layer is divided into 63 MCAs, 10 of which are Natural England's Seascape Character Areas (SCAs) for the East Marine Plan Area. The report includes individual MCA profiles containing further information, including key characteristics, amended to reflect stakeholder comments on names and boundaries. These MCAs and accompanying descriptions will help inform the MMO's evidence base for marine planning in England. The dataset is a result of a desktop study based on the methodology first developed by LUC for the Seascape Assessment of the South Marine Plan Area, published in 2014 (MMO 1037). The boundaries of each MCA were defined using GIS datasets and other information representing the natural/physical, cultural/social and perceptual/aesthetic characteristics of the inshore and offshore marine plan areas. The MCA boundaries should be interpreted as transitional.
Risk of Flooding from Surface Water (RoFSW) Extents

These 3 layers show the extent of flooding from surface water that could result from a flood with a 3.3% (1 in 30), 1% (1 in 100), and 0.1% (1 in 1000) chance of happening in any given year. Surface water flooding happens when rainwater does not drain away through the normal drainage systems or soak into the ground, but lies on or flows over the ground instead. Managing the risk of flooding from surface water is the responsibility of lead local flood authorities (LLFA). The LLFA is the unitary authority or if there is no unitary authority, the county council for the area. The Environment Agency (EA) is responsible for publishing surface water flood risk maps however mapping of surface water flood risk areas is responsibility of LLFAs. We, the EA, produced the Risk of Flooding from Surface Water (RoFSW) map on behalf of LLFAs, using their input and information. It assesses flooding scenarios as a result of rainfall with a 3.3% (1 in 30), 1% (1 in 100), or 0.1% (1 in 1000) chance of occurring each year. Although surface water flood risk information is not suitable for identifying whether an individual property will flood it does gives an indication of the broad areas likely to be affected.

Terrain - Slope Degrees

This layer provides slope values in degrees calculated dynamically from the elevation data (within the current extents) using the server-side slope function applied on the [Terrain layer]. The values are integer and represent the angle of the downward sloping terrain (0 to 90 degrees). Note: slope is a function of the pixel size of the request, so at smaller scales the slope values are smaller as pixel sizes increase. Units: Degrees Update Frequency: Quarterly Coverage: World/Global Data Sources: This layer is compiled from a variety of best available sources from several data providers. To see the coverage and extents of various datasets comprising this service in an interactive map, see [World Elevation Coverage Map]. WARNING: Slope is computed in the projection specified by the client software. The server resamples the elevation data to the requested projection and pixel size and then computes slope. Slope should be requested in a projection that maintains correct scale in x and y directions for the area of interest. Using geographic coordinates will give incorrect results. For the WGS84 Mercator and WGS Web Mercator (auxiliary sphere) projections used by many web applications, a correction factor has been included to correct for latitude-dependent scale changes. What can you do with this layer? Use for Visualization: No. This image service provides numeric values indicating terrain characteristics. Due to the limited range of values, this service is not generally appropriate for visual interpretation, unless the client application applies an additional color map. For use in visualization, use the [Terrain: Slope Map]. Use for Analysis: Yes. This layer provides numeric values indicating the average slope angle within a raster cell, calculated based on the defined cell size. Cell size has an effect on the slope values. There is a limit of 5000 rows x 5000 columns. For Slope values in Percent, use [Terrain - Slope Percent] layer. For more details such as Data Sources, Mosaic method used in this layer, please see the [Terrain layer]. This layer allows query, identify, and export image requests. The layer is restricted to a 5,000 x 5,000 pixel limit in a single export image request. This layer is part of a larger collection of [elevation layers] that you can use to perform a variety of mapping and analysis tasks.
Terrain - Aspect Map

This map provides a colorized representation of aspect, generated dynamically using the server-side aspect function on the [Terrain layer]. The orientation of the downward sloping terrain (0° – 360°) is indicated by different colors, rotating from green (North) to blue (East), to magenta (South) to orange (West). Flat areas having no down slope direction are given a value of 361° and rendered as gray. This service can be used for visualization or analysis. Note: If you require access to numeric (float) aspect values, use the [Terrain - Aspect] layer, which returns orientation values from 0 to 360 degrees. Units: Degrees Update Frequency: Quarterly Coverage: World/Global Data Sources: This layer is compiled from a variety of best available sources from several data providers. To see the coverage and extents of various datasets comprising this service in an interactive map, see [World Elevation Coverage Map]. What can you do with this layer? Use for Visualization: Yes. This colorized aspect map is appropriate for visualizing the downslope direction of the terrain. This layer can be added to applications or maps to enhance contextual understanding. Use for Analysis: Yes. 8 bit color values returned by this service represent integer aspect values. For float values, use the [Terrain - Aspect] layer. For more details such as Data Sources, Mosaic method used in this layer, please see the [Terrain layer]. This layer allows query, identify, and export image requests. The layer is restricted to a 5,000 x 5,000 pixel limit in a single export image request. This layer is part of a larger collection of [elevation layers] that you can use to perform a variety of mapping and analysis tasks.
BGS 625k Geology

The Feature Layer made available to the Living Atlas has been adapted from the 625k Geology dataset freely available from the [BGS] website. The attribution and labels of the geological areas (or polygons) have been simplified to make the data more available to a wider audience. The dataset is aimed at students with an interest in Earth Sciences and amateur geologists who want to find out more. The LEX_RCS & LEX_ROCK codes have been preserved to allow users to reference the layers to to the [625k Geology Dataset]. About BGS Geology 625k: BGS Geology 625k is a generalised digital geological map dataset based on BGS’s published poster maps of the UK (north and south). Bedrock-related themes were created by generalisation of 1:50 000 data to make the 2007 fifth edition bedrock geology map. Superficial geology-related themes were digitised from the 1977 first edition Quaternary map (north and south). Many BGS geology maps are now available digitally. The Digital Geological Map of Great Britain project (formerly known as DiGMapGB) has prepared [1:625 000], [1:250 000], [1:50 000] and [1:10 000]-scale datasets for England, Wales, and Scotland. Work continues to upgrade these. Geological maps are often the foundation for many other earth science-related maps and are of potential use to a wide range of end users. This dataset uses the themes: * [Bedrock Geology] * [Superficial Geology] * [Linear features (faults)] More information on the BGS 625k Geology Dataset can be found on the [BGS website]. The 625k Geology data can also be viewed alongside other BGS datasets in the [GeoIndex ]viewer. The currency of this data is August 2022, while there are no planned regular updates, BGS continuously reviews its data products and will release new versions of the BGS Geology 625k when available.
