Land Cover Map 2023 at 10-Metre Resolution

A web map service provides a 10-metre resolution land cover map for 2023. It classifies land surface into 21 UKCEH land cover classes based on Biodiversity Action Plan broad habitats. The service is provided by the Government Digital Service.

Use Cases

• Monitor land use change over time based on the 21-class classification system.
• Assess habitat extent and connectivity for conservation planning based on Biodiversity Action Plan broad habitats.
• Model environmental impacts of land management decisions based on high-resolution geospatial land cover data.

Strengths

• Provides a high-resolution 10-metre grid for detailed spatial analysis.
• Uses a standardized classification scheme of 21 UKCEH land cover classes.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
