Land Cover Map 2015 (25m raster, N. Ireland)

This dataset consists of the 25m raster version of the Land Cover Map 2015 (LCM2015) for Northern Ireland. This is the most detailed of the LCM2015 raster products both thematically and spatially, and it is used to derive the 1km products. The 25m raster product consists of two bands: Band 1 - raster representation of the majority (dominant) class per polygon for 21 target habitat classes; Band 2 - mean per polygon probability as reported by the Random Forest classifier (see supporting informati

Useful for

Use cases llm-inferred
Habitat baseline mapping for BNG using broad habitat classes · Catchment land-cover inputs for flood runoff or hydrological assessment in Northern Ireland · Desk-based ecological constraints screening for planning sites in Northern Ireland

ecologists · GIS analysts · hydrologists · planners

Limitations

Constraints llm-inferred
Licence terms apply and ENTRY lists a non-open government licence, so reuse may be restricted · Imagery is from 2014-2015 only, so it is not current land cover · Covers Northern Ireland only, not the rest of the UK · Raster is derived from the vector product; users should check the wider LCM2015 range to pick the right product
