Green and Blue Infrastructure (England)
Summary
A series of geodatabases that contain a range of spatial datasets. These datasets describe the location and geographical extent of different types of Green and Blue Infrastructure across England. The datasets highlight accessibility levels, display greenspace provision and natural greenspace standards in a spatial context and present it alongside a wide range of social statistics.
As of 28/03/2025 the Social Statistics LSOA data layer in the Green and Blue Infrastructure data download has been corrected and now matches the data displayed on Natural England's Green Infrastructure website. The LSOA IMD codes have been re-calculated correctly and are stored in the data layer in the "corrected_code" attribute fields. The original, inaccurate codes persist in the data layer for context only.
