WINS Natural Flood Management: Constraints for Catchment Woodland Planting

This dataset was created for the Welsh Information for Nature-based Solutions (WINS) project (previously known as SCCAN) to identify opportunities for land management interventions that enhance ecosystem service delivery across a range of key policy areas. An accompanying User Guide is available to support the use of these datasets, and a full list of source datasets and data limitations can be found in the project technical report.


This dataset shows the constraints affecting the suitability of land for catchment woodland planting to deliver natural flood management (NFM) benefits. The constraints map indicates the number of factors that may limit woodland planting within a given area. The constraints considered include biophysical, practical, urban, conservation, cultural, economic and legislative factors.
