Provisional Agricultural Land Classification Grade. Agricultural land classified into five grades. Grade one is best quality and grade five is poorest quality. A number of consistent criteria used for assessment which include climate (temperature, rainfall, aspect, exposure, frost risk), site (gradient, micro-relief, flood risk) and soil (depth, structure, texture, chemicals, stoniness) for England only. Digitised from the published 1:250,000 map which was in turn compiled from the 1 inch to the mile maps. Attribution statement: © Natural England copyright.

These are Welsh Government owned datasets licenced to Natural Resources Wales (NRW) under and Open Government Licence (OGL). The Agricultural Land Classification (ALC) system is used to grade the quality of agricultural land. The Predictive ALC map for Wales is based on the principles of the Agricultural Land Classification System of England and Wales, the Revised Guidelines and Criteria for Grading the Quality of Agricultural Land. The ALC system classifies land into one of the following five grades: Grade 1 - excellent quality agricultural land; Grade 2 - good quality agricultural land; Grade 3a - good to moderate quality agricultural land; Grade 3b - moderate quality agricultural land; Grade 4 - poor quality agricultural land; Grade 5 - very poor quality agricultural land. Planning policy defines the top three grades (1-3a) as the 'Best and Most Versatile' agricultural land. Best and Most Versatile agricultural land accounts for approximately 7% of total land in Wales.

Where Grade 3 is mapped this includes the subdivision of Grade 3 into subgrades 3a and 3b. Surveys use the current grading methodology as described in "Agricultural Land Classification of England and Wales," a link for which is provided with the data. Individual sites have been mapped at varying scales and level of detail from 1:5,000 to 1:50,000 (typically 1:10,000).
