From the development of major infrastructure projects or rolling out new utilities or networks, to identifying areas for investment or new housing, understanding the characteristics of how land is used in your area of interest is vital.
If you are searching for specific categories of land, for example, retail parks, or large areas of industrial land away from urban areas, UKLand can help.
UKLand has some of the most detailed and accurate land-use specifications of any dataset in the UK.
UKLand is used by a wide range of organisations, government, and businesses such as telecoms, utilities, academia, local authorities, surveyors, and more.
UKLand is designed to link seamlessly with third-party databases to help you improve your decision-making processes and save costs.
See a detailed breakdown of natural areas (sand dunes, rockscapes, heath, and moorland), a range of agricultural types (mainly crops, mixed-use, vineyard, glasshouses), woodlands (deciduous, coniferous, mixed), and built environments (a range of urban densities, business parks, industrial, retail parks).
While land cover data (the physical land type for example forest, grassland, or a body of water) is relatively easy to capture given the availability of satellite imagery, UKLand identifies how that land is used.
UKLand is available via download in standard mapping and GIS formats. For GIS users, display characteristics and standard style files are provided.
