Summary

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:

pH 6.75-7.25 Density of grassland 10-80% Density of woodland 10-50% Nearest pond <125m Where drainage is 'Impeded' These suitable habitat features have been given a score of ‘1’.

Distance from rivers <100m Density of arable land 50 - 100% Has been given a score of ‘-1’.

Urban areas > 2ha (+400m buffer), roads (7.5m) and rivers (7.5m) have been excluded.
