Habitats layers were produced as both polygon and point data for many of the habitats. Each layer is accompanied by processing notes detailing data sources and all decision made in creating the layers. A standard template was also produced and documented for attributing the GIS layers and general assumptions that could be made. This dataset is kept as an archive only.
