Land Cover Map 2007 (1km percentage target class, GB) v1.2 Web Map Service

This view shows a 1km resolution raster version of the Land Cover Map 2007 for Great Britain. The data consists of 23 bands. Each band represents a target class, broadly representing a Broad Habitat, and within the band each 1km pixel represents a percentage cover value of that class. The dataset is part of a series of data products produced by the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology known as LCM2007. LCM2007 is a parcel-based thematic classification of satellite image data covering the entire United

What's in it

Data offered docs-verified: 1km raster Land Cover Map 2007 (GB) · 23 target-class bands of percentage cover per 1km pixel · Broad Habitat-aligned land cover classes
Coverage llm-inferred: Great Britain · 2007
Resolution docs-verified: 1 km raster (1km pixels)
Formats docs-verified: WMS
Access docs-verified: Licence terms and conditions apply (entry licence: Non-Open government licence). No authentication listed. Use requires citation and the copyright notice 'Based upon LCM2007 © UKCEH 2011'.

Useful for

Use cases llm-inferred: Habitat baseline mapping for BNG assessments using percentage cover by Broad Habitat class · Desk-based ecological constraints screening across GB sites · Land cover context layer for catchment or drainage option appraisal in a GIS
Audience llm-inferred: ecologists · GIS analysts · environmental consultants · planners · hydrologists

Limitations

Constraints llm-inferred: Non-open licence: terms apply, citation and copyright notice required · Dated 2007 snapshot; newer land cover products may supersede it · Raster derived from parcel-based vector data, so detail is generalised at 1km · Great Britain only; not covering Northern Ireland per docs · WMS delivers map images, not the underlying per-pixel percentage values, unless the raster is downloaded
