Haddenham NW Agricultural Land Classification Survey Maps and Reports

Original paper maps and survey reports for the Haddenham NW site in Aylesbury Vale, surveyed between 1989 and 1999 by the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food. The data uses the current grading methodology, including subdivision of Grade 3 into subgrades 3a and 3b, and may contain unedited sample point soils data and soil pit descriptions. The dataset is provided by Natural England and contains Ordnance Survey data.

Use Cases

• Historical land quality analysis based on the Agricultural Land Classification grading methodology.
• Soil data integration for environmental modeling based on available sample point and soil pit descriptions.
• Geospatial mapping of agricultural potential based on scanned maps at scales from 1:5,000 to 1:50,000.

Strengths

• Surveyed in detail between 1989 and 1999 by a specific government ministry.
• Maps include subdivision of Grade 3 into subgrades 3a and 3b.
• Scanned original paper maps and reports provide primary source material.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single site survey from 1989-1999.
