Land Cover Map 2024 (land parcels, GB)
This is a vector data set representing the land surface of Great Britain, classified into 21 UKCEH land cover classes, based upon Biodiversity Action Plan broad habitats. This vector Land Parcel dataset is the result of intersecting the 10m raster classified pixel dataset with the UKCEH Land Parcel Spatial Framework to generate summary land parcel attributes for each land cover parcel. A full description of this and all UKCEH LCM2024 products are available from the LCM2024 product documentation.

Limitations
- Constraints llm-inferred
- Bespoke licence must be negotiated before download, which adds lead time and cost · Great Britain only; Northern Ireland is covered by separate records · Single-year snapshot (2024); no temporal change analysis from this product alone · SpatiaLite format needs GIS tooling to read · Vector parcels are derived from 10 m pixels, so detail below parcel level is not available
