Lawe PPRN Amalgamated Hazard Zones for Risk Prevention Plans

Lawe PPRN amalgamated hazard zone data represents areas exposed to one or more hazards for risk analysis of Risk Prevention Plans (RPP). The dataset, sourced from DDTM62 and disseminated via an INSPIRE download service, includes hazard zones resulting from a synthesis of calculated, modelled, or observed hazard data. It was last updated on 2022-02-01.

Use Cases

• Mapping flood or other natural hazard risk zones based on the described graduated zoning.
• Assessing land suitability for development based on hazard intensity and probability.
• Evaluating the effectiveness of protective structures as they are represented in the hazard zones.
• Identifying areas of 'no or insignificant hazard' for regulatory zoning purposes.

Strengths

• Hazard zones are described as 'developed data' resulting from a synthesis of multiple sources.
• Areas protected by structures are represented, accounting for potential breakage or inadequacy.
• The dataset has a specific vintage date of 22/11/2018, providing a temporal reference.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2022-02-01; freshness should be verified for current risk assessments.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
