GBR BGS Slope threshold>

"As of January 1st 2020, new regulations outlined in the Welsh Government Agricultural Pollution Measures document state that risk maps must be created for each field within a holding which, amongst other factors, should identify ""land with an incline greater than 12°"".

This specific dataset displays areas where the 12 degree threshold is exceeded based on a 50m resolution elevation dataset. Areas below the threshold are left transparent. As the elevation map on which the slope information has been calculated is relatively coarse.

IMPORTANT: the slope angle information provided here must only be used as a preliminary guide – local variations in slope may differ to the values captured here.
