The criteria for LFA designation were first established in European legislation in 1975 (Directive 75/268 EEC and accompanying measures).   Area A (Severely Disadvantaged)   In general the most severely disadvantaged land, when measured in terms of the handicaps to farming. These handicaps are brought about by factors such as soil, relief, aspect or climate, either singly or in combination. Most of Area A was originally granted Less Favoured Area status in 1975.   Areas adopted under Article 2.2 of Council Directive 75/268/EEC (O.J. No.L128, 19.5.1975, p1), which list was contained in the Annex to Council Directive 75/276/EEC (O.J. No.L128, 19.5.1975, p239), as amended by Council Directive 76/685/EEC (O.J. No.L231, 20.8.1976, p30), now repealed, and is now contained in the Annex to the Council Directive 84/169/EEC (O.J. No.L82, 26.3.1984, p67).   Area B (Disadvantaged)   In terms of the handicaps to farming it is less severely disadvantaged than Area A land. Land designated as less favoured in February 1984 and extended in December 1990.   Areas adopted under Article 2.2 of Council Directive 75/268/EEC, which list is contained in the Annex to the Council Directive 84/169/EEC, as amended by Commission Decision 91/25/EEC (O.J. No.L16, 22.1.1991, p25).   To note: the data was captured in the early 1990’s by heads-up digitising from OS 1:25,000 paper and Statutory Instrument maps. As such, the boundaries will not necessarily align to current mapping. completed Welsh Government originator ESRI Shapefile 1.0 United Kingdom place license Open Government Licence for Public Sector Information (OGL): (https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/) vector en utf8 farming -5.246730844565503 -2.6553932437155603 51.486851966602586 53.45282532593125 https://datamap.gov.wales WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Online link to the 'Less Favoured Areas (LFA) Wales' description on GeoNode /static/geonode/img/missing_thumb.png?v=e4ada238 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .png Less Favoured Areas (LFA) Wales (Thumbnail Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WMS&request=GetLegendGraphic&format=image/png&WIDTH=20&HEIGHT=20&LAYER=geonode:lfa__imem&STYLE=lfa___42ef3aa0-1ca5-11ee-9d9a-99e2241587c7&version=1.3.0&sld_version=1.1.0&legend_options=fontAntiAliasing:true;fontSize:12;forceLabels:on WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .png Less Favoured Areas (LFA) Wales (Legend Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WMS&request=GetLegendGraphic&format=image/png&WIDTH=20&HEIGHT=20&LAYER=geonode:lfa__imem&STYLE=lfa__imem&version=1.3.0&sld_version=1.1.0&legend_options=fontAntiAliasing:true;fontSize:12;forceLabels:on WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .png Less Favoured Areas (LFA) Wales (Legend Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typename=geonode%3Alfa__imem&outputFormat=json&srs=EPSG%3A27700&srsName=EPSG%3A27700 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .json Less Favoured Areas (LFA) Wales (GeoJSON Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typename=geonode%3Alfa__imem&outputFormat=excel&srs=EPSG%3A27700 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .excel Less Favoured Areas (LFA) Wales (Excel Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typename=geonode%3Alfa__imem&outputFormat=csv&srs=EPSG%3A27700 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .csv Less Favoured Areas (LFA) Wales (CSV Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typename=geonode%3Alfa__imem&outputFormat=text%2Fxml%3B+subtype%3Dgml%2F3.1.1&srs=EPSG%3A27700 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .gml Less Favoured Areas (LFA) Wales (GML 3.1.1 Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typename=geonode%3Alfa__imem&outputFormat=gml2&srs=EPSG%3A27700 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .gml Less Favoured Areas (LFA) Wales (GML 2.0 Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typename=geonode%3Alfa__imem&outputFormat=dxf&srs=EPSG%3A27700 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .dxf Less Favoured Areas (LFA) Wales (DXF Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typename=geonode%3Alfa__imem&outputFormat=gpkg&srs=EPSG%3A27700 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .gpkg Less Favoured Areas (LFA) Wales (OGC Geopackage Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typename=geonode%3Alfa__imem&outputFormat=SHAPE-ZIP&srs=EPSG%3A27700&format_options=charset%3AUTF-8 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .zip Less Favoured Areas (LFA) Wales (Zipped Shapefile Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WMS&request=GetMap&layers=geonode%3Alfa__imem&format=image%2Fpng&height=550&width=437&srs=EPSG%3A27700&bbox=184308.0%2C181016.0%2C354629.0%2C395337.0 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .png Less Favoured Areas (LFA) Wales (PNG Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WMS&request=GetMap&layers=geonode%3Alfa__imem&format=application%2Fpdf&height=550&width=437&srs=EPSG%3A27700&bbox=184308.0%2C181016.0%2C354629.0%2C395337.0 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .pdf Less Favoured Areas (LFA) Wales (PDF Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows?service=WMS&request=GetMap&layers=geonode%3Alfa__imem&format=image%2Fjpeg&height=550&width=437&srs=EPSG%3A27700&bbox=184308.0%2C181016.0%2C354629.0%2C395337.0 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .jpg Less Favoured Areas (LFA) Wales (JPEG Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/download/5226 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .zip Less Favoured Areas (LFA) Wales (Original dataset Format) https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows OGC:WFS geonode:lfa__imem Service - Provides Layer: Less Favoured Areas (LFA) Wales https://datamap.gov.wales/geoserver/ows OGC:WMS geonode:lfa__imem Service - Provides Layer: Less Favoured Areas (LFA) Wales dataset   To note: the data was captured in the early 1990’s by heads-up digitising from OS 1:25,000 paper and Statutory Instrument maps.
