Summary 

  NRW agreed, identified and documented which habitats and SAC features are sensitive to a range of Marine Licencing Band 1 activities. The dataset consists of 2 layers detailing information about sensitive habitats.  These datasets constitute polygons derived from NRW held BAP (Section 7) / OSPAR layers, Regulation 35 SAC habitat layers and Phase 1 intertidal survey.  All the habitats included in these layers were deemed to be sensitive to Marine Licencing Band 1 activities.   The data includes records of protected or sensitive habitats, collected as part of baseline survey, monitoring programmes and ad-hoc records.  A third layer is derived from the Special Protection Area (SPA) designated sites dataset and identifies SPA sensitive to Marine Licencing Band 1 Activities

The publically available dataset has some environmentally sensitive information redacted. An un-redacted version can be requested and may be provided under a NRW licence.
