Cornwall Council?s Historic Environment Service pioneered the methodology for Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC), undertaking the first national countywide characterisation in 1994. The Cornwall Method is set out by Peter Herring in 'Historic Landscape Assessment, Presenting a Method' (1998). Characterisation continues to be fundamental to our interpretation and presentation of the historic environment. It allows the historic dimension of the whole landscape to be fully considered and provides a readily understood context for the surviving archaeological remains.

The HLC, of the whole of Cornwall, was undertaken as part of a general Landscape Assessment of the county (published as Cornwall County Council 1996). The HLC was supported and funded by the Countryside Commission (now the Countryside Agency), English Heritage, Cornwall County Council and the six local District Councils.

The Cornwall HLC was a pilot study encouraged by English Heritage who were investigating ways of assessing the historic environment, to enable it to be placed alongside the natural environment in discussions of sustainable development. The method was based on a comprehensive and systematic collection of disparate data that was then mapped, assessed and interpreted by the Service. It represented a new way of characterising the landscape and understanding its evolution. The Cornwall Method has since been adopted and adapted by local Authorities and heritage Agencies throughout the British Isles and Europe.

A basic premise of HLC is that the whole of Britain is one continuous but multifarious historic landscape. All natural habitats in Britain are 'semi-natural', being the products of natural conditions (geology, soils, exposure, native communities etc.) as altered by various land use systems. These systems may have been either deliberate, like woodland management, grazing of heathlands (including cliffs and coastal valleys), and creation of pastures, or incidental to other processes, like the silting of estuaries as a result of tinning, or the creation of marginal habitats alongside roads. As a result, all semi-natural habitats are part of the historic environment and so there are no parts of Britain that do not have a definable historic character.

It is possible to establish, through study, the predominant historic landscape character of each parcel of land in Cornwall. The landscape is comprised of a mosaic of blocks of land whose predominant historical landscape character is both various and repeating. This quality allows parcels to be assigned, using a number of systematic sources (mainly maps), to one of around twenty clearly distinguishable HLC Types. Most Types can be found scattered across the whole of Cornwall and most can be further subdivided according to the sensitivity of characterisation required. To create a smaller-scale and simplified characterisation of the whole county, the Types mapping can be simplified, generalised and, to some extent, reinterpreted, to produce a map of Historic Landscape Character Zones.

Accuracy of Content: The level of detail and the accuracy of the information held on each HLC type reflect the nature or content of the sources used to compile the record. Users of this data should consult the HER to clarify the level of reliability and/or precision that should be afforded to information derived from the HBSMR.
The Site and its Content is provided for your general information only; we do not undertake that Content will always be accurate and complete. Therefore, if you propose to do, or refrain from doing, something in reliance upon Content you find on the Site, you must check the accuracy of the relevant Content by some other means.

This spatial dataset is an output of the Natural England County & City Natural Capital Atlas project (July 2020). It shows variation in ecosystem service flow for habitats across England, based on indicators identified by NE in the 2018 Natural Capital Indicators project. The dataset comprises a hexagonal grid which summarises indicator values across the country (each unit = 5km²).

Natural Capital is an important aspect of current environmental policy and management. This dataset, in combination with the other project outputs, will support understanding of Natural Capital in England and serve as a valuable engagement tool to communicate concepts of the Natural Capital approach to a wide variety of stakeholders.

OverviewNatural England and the Environment Agency have collaborated to produce a seagrass layer for English waters, which aims to provide a comprehensive geospatial dataset of surveys of both current and historical spatial seagrass. The layer identifies a current seagrass extent; using the best and most recent available evidence and agreed by both organisations.These datasets have been provided by NE and the EA, as well as a number of third parties. Details of these third parties can be found in the accompanying metadata file.CaveatsThere are two genera of seagrass present in English waters: Ruppia sp. and Zostera sp. Commonly the use of ‘seagrass’ only refers to Zostera sp. (also known as Eelgrass). However, this dataset includes both Ruppia sp. and Zostera sp. If using the layer file, Ruppia sp. are identified by differing symbology. In the raw attribute data, Ruppia sp. and Zostera sp. can be distinguished using the EUNIS codes in the HAB_TYPE field.Seagrass data is only available where and when surveys have been carried out. Therefore, absence of seagrass in a specific year does not necessarily indicate that seagrass was not present, it may simply mean that no survey was completed that year. Similarly, there may be locations where seagrass is present, but has not been surveyed, and therefore is not represented in this dataset, such as the Medway Estuary.The seagrass layer only includes polygon data. There may be additional seagrass habitats which only have point data available, these are not included in the seagrass layer.Identified polygon extents may be affected by survey method. For example, a walking survey may not collect data below a certain depth, and a DDV survey from a boat may not collect data above a certain depth. A survey method field is included in the data, to ensure this can be accounted for.As data is collected from/using a variety of sources and methods the accuracy of the data varies. A data confidence field is supplied to provide an indication of confidence in the data accuracy. Confidence categories are assigned based on expert judgement and local knowledge. Some historical data has a particularly low confidence and may be assigned with a category of ‘presence only’. Polygons with this confidence should only be used to identify previous seagrass presence, they should not be used to identify previous seagrass extent.MetadataThis dataset contains a collation of current and historic seagrass data by Natural England and the Environment Agency. This includes data collected or commissioned by Natural England, the Environment Agency, or provided by third parties that have allowed their data to be republished under the Open Government Licence (OGL).The dataset identifies a current extent of seagrass which used the best available evidence and has been agreed by both Natural England and the Environment Agency. Before carrying out any analyses using this layer, the associated README file, which provides a list of dataset caveats, should be read.Seagrass beds are an important resource for both carbon storage and biodiversity. They are a designated feature in a number of Marine Protected Areas, used to inform ecological assessment as part of the Water Framework Directive, and are the focus of habitat restoration schemes such as the LIFE Recreation ReMEDIES project.This dataset contains records that qualify as open and therefore can be published under the Open Government Licence (OGL). These records are extracted and collated from the Environment Agency Seagrass Database and Natural England Marine Evidence Base (MEB), is a collated database of both NE and 3rd party surveys. All non-seagrass habitats are excluded from the Seagrass Layer, and datasets are clipped to English waters only. The Environment Agency WFD Areas dataset is used identify which area each seagrass bed lies within. Extraction of data from the NE Marine Evidence Base is based on the dataset identifier, access limitations and data owner as defined within the Marine Metadatabase to ensure that only open datasets are included in the open version.
