Land Cover Map 2025 (LCM2025 - 25m rasterised land parcels, N. Ireland)
This is a 25m pixel dataset representing the land surface of Northern Ireland, classified into 21 UKCEH land cover classes, based upon Biodiversity Action Plan broad habitats. It is a three-band raster in GeoTiff format, produced by rasterising three properties of the classified land parcels dataset. The first band gives the most likely land cover type, the second band gives the per-parcel probability of the land cover, the third band is a measure of parcel purity. The probability and purity ban

Useful for
- Use cases llm-inferred
- Land cover input for FRA runoff and permeability assumptions across Northern Ireland catchments · BNG habitat baseline mapping for Northern Ireland sites using the 21 UKCEH classes · Uncertainty-aware land cover masking using the probability and purity bands
- Audience llm-inferred
- GIS analysts · ecologists · hydrologists · flood consultants · planners
Limitations
- Constraints llm-inferred
- Northern Ireland only; Great Britain uses a separate product · Non-open licence with terms and conditions; not freely downloadable · Order-by-email access route rather than direct download · Single-year snapshot (2025), so no time series · Rasterised from land parcels, so parcel-level classification limits carry through to the 25 m grid
