GCN - Strategic Opportunity Areas (Lancashire)
District Level Licensing Strategic Opportunity Areas for Great Crested Newts in Lancashire
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 (within 250m a radius) and are located within a 25x25m grid square where great crested newt presence has been predicted. Fringe areas contain a pond density of <2 and are located within a 25x25m grid 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: Arable density 0 - 33% Grassland density (including fen) 10-75% Distance from grassland (including fen) 0-100m Woodland density 10-33% Distance from woodland 0-100m Distance from rivers 100-1000m Elevation 0-150m pH 6.75-7.5 These suitable habitat features have been given a score of ‘1’. Urban areas greater than 2ha (+400m buffer), roads (7.5m) and rivers (7.5m) have been excluded. © Natural England, 2020 Contains, or is derived from, information supplied by Ordnance Survey. © Crown copyright and database rights 2020 Ordnance Survey 100022021.
