This dataset identifies areas where the addition of new ponds would benefit Great Crested Newt populations. The core areas contain a pond density of 2+ ponds within 250m and are located within a 25m square where great crested newt presence has been predicted. Fringe areas contain a pond density of 1 within 250m and are located within a 25km square where great crested newt presence has been predicted or are within a 250m of a Core Area. Higher scores are associated with darker colouration and represent a greater presence of suitable habitat features: The following suitable habitat features have been given a score of ‘1’: grassland density 10 - 66% distance from arable >125m distrance from woodland

This dataset identifies areas where the addition of new ponds would benefit Great Crested Newt populations. The core areas contain a pond density of 2+ ponds and are located within a 1km square where great crested newt presence has been predicted. Fringe areas contain a pond density of 1 and are located within a 1km square where great crested newt presence has been predicted or are within a 250m of a Core Area. Higher scores are associated with darker colouration and represent a greater presence of suitable habitat features: grassland density 10 - 50% woodland density 10 - 60% Distance from rivers <1500m Shannon Weaver Diversity -1.5 to -0.6 These suitable habitat features have been given a score of ‘1’. Arable land (density 50 - 100%) has been given a score of ‘-1’. Urban areas greater than 2ha (+400m buffer), roads (7.5m), rivers (7.5m) and Environment Agency Flood Zone 2 have been excluded.
