It was created as part of the GIS for Area Statements (GISfAS) project to support land cover ecosystem accounting by providing information on current economic value and changes in land cover. GISfAS forms part of a wider suite of projects, including the State of Natural Resources Report (SoNaRR) and Spatial Analysis for Area Statements (SAfAS), which support the sustainable management of natural resources and ecosystem services in Wales.

Only rare habitat types were subjected to systematic verification. As a result of the methodology used, confidence in habitat classification varies between habitat types. Due to project timescales, no assessment was made of the differing levels of accuracy and certainty when translating Phase 1 habitat classes to ONS Broad Habitat classes.
