Dataset description
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 1km square where great crested newt presence has been predicted.
Fringe areas contain a pond density of 1 and are located within a 1km 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%
distrance from woodland < 100m
woodland density 15 – 75%
arable density 0 – 25%
Distance from rivers <1500m
pH 6.75 – 7.25
These suitable habitat features have been given a score of ‘1’.
Urban areas greater than 2ha (+400m buffer), roads (7.5m), rivers (7.5m) and Environment Agency Flood Zone 2 have been excluded. © Natural England, 2020
