The dataset can be used to support the identification of areas suitable for NFM alongside other analyses undertaken by a suitably qualified person. The information provided is based on a national scale mapping approach, taking into account largely modelled and open-source data, therefore this mapping should be viewed as indicative rather than specific. Locations identified may have more recent building or land use than available data indicates. It is important to note that land ownership and change to flood risk have not been considered. This prioritisation has been based on an existing dataset highlighting catchments with a “Demand for Natural Flood Management”. These catchments were derived as part of the System Cynorthwyo Cunllunio Adnoddau Naturiol (SCCAN) maps created by Natural Resources Wales.  These larger catchments above communities at risk from fluvial flooding are prioritised based on the percentage area of NFM potential as identified in two mapping sources, the Working with Natural Processes (WwNP) potential area maps and the System Cynorthwyo Cunllunio Adnoddau Naturiol (SCCAN) maps. The potential for the following features was summarised in the prioritisation: Floodplain reconnection potential (WwNP) Wider catchment woodland planting (WwNP) Bog restoration (and restoration on common land) (SCCAN) Opportunity to improve habitat condition – High priority (SCCAN) Opportunity involving habitat change – High priority (SCCAN) Opportunity for retention of winter stubbles in area at greater risk of flooding (SCCAN) The following features were given a double weighting for potential ecosystem service provision based on an analysis of the WwNP Evidence Directory: Riparian Woodland (WwNP) Infiltration improvements on slowly permeable soils (WwNP) Hedgerows (SCCAN) Bog restoration (SCCAN) The catchments have been categorised based on the percentage area of NFM potential of: <10% 10%-25% 25%-50% >50%   This dataset was developed to aid in the identification of catchments suitable for Natural Flood Management. completed Water and Flood Division originator ESRI Shapefile 1.0 Natural flood management theme Global place license Open Government Licence for Public Sector Information (OGL): (https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/) limitationNotListed This mapping should be reviewed against the following datasets:  Archaeological sites Historic Environment Features (HEF) Historic Landscape Areas (HLA) Registered Historic Parks and Gardens (RHPG) Scheduled Monument (SM) 50m buffer Scheduled Monument World Heritage Site (WHS) Bio-physical Acid Sensitive Catchment Ancient Woodland Inventory Deep Peat and Modified Deep Peat Grassland Fungi Potential Habitat for Fritillary Butterflies over Bracken Potential Habitat for Great Crested Newts Potential Habitat for Open-ground Dependent Birds Priority Habitat – High Sensitivity Priority Habitat Mosaics – Investigation Required Red Squirrel Areas Regionally Important Geodiversity Site (RIGS) Sensitive Arable Plants Potential Habitat for Water Voles Landscape designations  Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Registered Common Land National Park Open Access Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) 100/300m Buffer Upland Special Protection Areas (SPA) Upland Special Protection Areas (SPA) 500m Buffer Agriculture Agricultural Land Classification vector en utf8 environment -4.848571457542868 -2.5207645200625772 51.370986905348474 53.44235017614119 2017-01-01T00:00:00+00:00 2022-12-31T00:00:00+00:00 Derived data produced 2017 – 2022.
