Woody linear features framework, Great Britain v.1.0
A modelled dataset derived from a range of national datasets, describing the distribution of woody linear feature boundaries in Great Britain. The dataset presents linear features which have a high likelihood of being a woody linear feature. The dataset was created by a predictive model developed at the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, Lancaster in 2016.

Useful for
- Use cases llm-inferred
- Hedgerow and tree-line presence screening for BNG habitat baselines on rural sites · Desk-based mapping of woody field boundaries as ecological constraints on linear infrastructure routes · Context layer for farmland biodiversity or agri-environment assessments
- Audience llm-inferred
- ecologists · environmental consultants · planners · GIS analysts
Limitations
- Constraints llm-inferred
- Bespoke, non-open licence must be negotiated before use · Masked out areas above 350 m, urban, wooded and coastal tide-washed land, so these are not covered · Modelled likelihood output, not field-verified features · Version 1.0 from a 2016 model; no update frequency stated · Esri file geodatabase format needs GIS software that reads it · Not an MCP server or API; no tools
