This dataset identifies areas where the addition of new ponds would benefit Great Crested Newt populations.The core areas contain a pond density of 2+ ponds (within 250m) and are located within a 25x25m square where great crested newt presence has been predicted.Fringe areas contain a pond density of 1 and are located within a 25x25m square where great crested newt presence has been predicted or are within a 250m of a Core Area.Higher scores are associated with darker colouration and represent a greater presence of suitable habitat features:Density of arable land 0-50%Density of coniferous woodland 10-25%Density of deciduous woodland 10-100%Distance from deciduous woodland 0-100mDensity of grassland 25-75%Nearest pond 0-125mpH 6.5-7.5Distance from rivers 150-1000mThese suitable habitat features have been given a score of ‘1’. All scores are summed, scores ≤ 0 are not displayed Urban areas > 2ha (+250m buffer), roads (7.5m) and rivers (7.5m) have been excluded.Full metadata can be viewed on data.gov.uk.
