Land Cover Map 2023 (10m classified pixels, N. Ireland)

This is a 10m pixel data set representing the land surface of Northern Ireland, classified into 21 UKCEH land cover classes, based upon Biodiversity Action Plan broad habitats. It is a two-band raster in GeoTiff format. The first band gives the most likely land cover type; the second band gives the per-parcel probability of the land cover. A full description of this and all UKCEH LCM2023 products are available from the LCM2023 product documentation.

Useful for

Use cases llm-inferred
Habitat and land cover baseline for Northern Ireland site appraisals and BNG baseline mapping · Land cover inputs for surface runoff and drainage strategy assessments (e.g. permeable vs impermeable cover classes) · Land cover context layer for flood risk assessments and catchment characterisation in Northern Ireland
Audience llm-inferred
ecologists · GIS analysts · drainage engineers · flood consultants · hydrologists · planners

Limitations

Constraints llm-inferred
Northern Ireland only; not a GB or UK-wide product · Single-year 2023 snapshot; no time series · Classification accuracy figures are not in the docs; the docs point to the LCM2023 product documentation · Native CRS is TM75 / Irish Grid (EPSG:29903), so reprojection is needed for British National Grid work · Licence terms apply and citation is required in publications
