This current phase has looked at a more local level to provide input to the Area Statement process. The result is a comprehensive map atlas of opportunity, demand and constraint maps, with accompanying spatial data, to facilitate broad, cross-sectorial discussions on sustainable management of natural resources (SMNR). SCCAN aims to promote more holistic management of natural resources through spatial mapping of opportunity areas for land management interventions. The mapping focusses on priorities of the Welsh Government Natural Resources Policy (2017) arising from the Environment (Wales) Act (2016), which puts an emphasis on taking a place-based approach and delivering nature-based solutions. The five policy themes considered by the project: Ecological Resilience and Connectivity; Marine and Freshwater Water Quality; Natural Flood Management; Woodland Planting (for various objectives); Urban and Peri-Urban Green Infrastructure.

They form part of the evidence base for the Area Statements and show where the best places are to undertake action, to enhance the environment, to promote well-being and support biodiversity net gain. By using the maps together with other data and local knowledge good decisions can be reached at both the local area scale and the whole Wales scale on the Sustainable Management of Natural Resources (SMNR). The maps show modelled opportunity spaces for a selected land management intervention; they are intended to be considered as a source of evidence rather than a definitive instruction as to the most appropriate land management choice in a particular location. The maps should be used in conjunction with other existing sources of evidence (both spatial and non-spatial) and can be supplemented with new spatial data. The maps have been produced on the strategic scale using national datasets to provide consistency between the maps for each Area. This means that before action is taken at a local scale the maps should be reviewed with stakeholders, and ground-truthed. If more detailed, local-scale maps are needed then these can be produced following the methodology outlined in the technical report and generic framework, substituting or supplementing more detailed local data.
