Land Cover Map 2024
Land Cover Map 2024 (LCM2024) is a suite of datasets (raster, vector, and csv) describing the UK land surface in 2024. They were produced at the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology by classifying satellite images from 2024. LCM2024 includes a new land cover statistics data set, with both spatial (vector) and tabular (csv) versions, plus four geospatial datasets each for Great Britain and Northern Ireland, specifically: - 10 m classified pixel dataset, classified to create a single mosaic of nation

- Access llm-inferred
- Non-Open government licence (per catalogue metadata); no auth recorded
Useful for
- Use cases llm-inferred
- Land cover baseline for FRA catchment runoff and permeability assumptions · Habitat baseline mapping for BNG assessments from land cover classes · Land parcel land cover statistics for site appraisal and constraints mapping
- Audience llm-inferred
- ecologists · hydrologists · GIS analysts · planners
Limitations
- Constraints llm-inferred
- Non-open government licence may restrict redistribution and commercial reuse · Single-year (2024) snapshot; no time series within this entry · Geospatial products are split into separate Great Britain and Northern Ireland datasets · Classification is from satellite imagery, so class accuracy varies and should be checked locally
