Abstract: This dataset identifies areas where the distribution of Great Crested Newts (GCN) has been categorised into district zones relating to GCN occurrence and the level of impact development is likely to have on this species.Red zones contain key populations of GCN, which are important on a regional, national or international scale and include designated Sites of Special Scientific Interest for GCN.Amber zones contain main population centres for GCN and comprise important connecting habitat that aids natural dispersal.Green zones contain sparsely distributed GCN and are less likely to contain important pathways of connecting habitat for this species.White zones contain no GCN. However, as most of England forms the natural range of GCN, white zones are rare and will only be used when it is certain that there are no GCN.Data used to generate this derived data set includes the 2015 CEH Land Cover map (woodland, grassland and arable land classifications), OS MasterMap (pond locations that have been converted by NE into pond densities), CEH / NE Natural Capital Soil pH, Natural England GCN Class License Survey Returns England, Natural England GCN Pond Surveys DLL 17 18 19, OS Open Rivers, OS Boundary Line District Boundaries, Freshwater Habitats Trust PondNet GCN data and GCN data from Leicestershire and Rutland Environmental Records Centre and the Nottinghamshire Biological and Geological Records Centre.Soil pH:  Henrys, P.A.; Keith, A.M.; Robinson, D.A.; Emmett, B.A. (2012).
