GCN - Risk Zones (Shropshire)
Risk Zones for District Licensing of Great Crested newts in Shropshire
This dataset identifies areas where the distribution of great crested newts (GCN) has been categorised into zones relating to GCN occurrence and the level of impact development is likely to have on this species. Red zones contain key populations of GCN, which are important on a regional, national or international scale and include designated Sites of Special Scientific Interest for GCN. Amber zones contain main population centres for GCN and comprise important connecting habitat that aids natural dispersal. Green zones contain sparsely distributed GCN and are less likely to contain important pathways of connecting habitat for this species. White zones contain no GCN. However, as most of England forms the natural range of GCN, white zones are rare and will only be used when it is certain that there are no GCN. © Natural England [Year], reproduced with the permission of Natural England, © Natural England [year], reproduced with the permission of Natural England, http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/copyright/. © Crown Copyright and database rights [year].
