Land Cover Map 2025 (LCM2025 - land parcels, GB)
This is a vector dataset 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 10 m 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 LCM2025 products are available from the LCM2025 product documentation.

Limitations
- Constraints llm-inferred
- Bespoke licence must be negotiated before download, so not usable as open data · Vector parcel product only; 10 m pixel and 25 m raster versions are separate records · Classification accuracy figures are not in the docs and must be taken from the LCM2025 product documentation · No update frequency stated; the dataset is a single 2025 snapshot
