Methodology
| Name | Category | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Shrink Swell | Climate Change | This dataset provides insight on the likelihood that foundations will be affected by increased clay shrink-swell in the future, compared to current conditions, as a result of climate change. |
| Flooding | Climate Change | This dataset provides insight on the likelihood that the property will be affected by flooding from all sources (fluvial, pluvial, tidal and groundwater) in the future, compared to current conditions, as a result of climate change. |
| Heat Stress | Climate Change | This dataset provides insight on the property's susceptibility to heat stress in the future, compared to current conditions, as a result of climate change driving higher land surface temperatures. |
| Wildfire | Climate Change | This dataset provides insight on the property's susceptibility to wildfire in the future, compared to current conditions, as a result of climate change. |
| Drought | Climate Change | This dataset provides insight on the property's susceptibility to drought in the future, compared to current conditions, as a result of climate change driving increasing temperatures and decreasing rainfall. |
| Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) | Climate Change | An EPC certificate shows the energy rating of the property (A to G), the environmental impact as carbon dioxide emissions per year, and the potential energy rating of the property. Indicative costs associated with making the necessary energy efficiency improvements are also highlighted. |
| Coastal Erosion Extent (Shoreline Management Plans) | Climate Change | |
| Coastal Erosion Extent (No Future Intervention) | Climate Change | |
| Coastal Erosion Susceptibility | Climate Change | This dataset provides information on the coastal erosion susceptibility of both the low lying deposits and the vertical cliff layers which are nearest the property. Coastal erosion risk is influenced by various factors, such as cliff formations, which are not fully captured in these susceptibility classifications. Additionally, increasing storm surges, waves, and sea levels are predicted to exacerbate future erosion. It is important to consider this susceptibility rating alongside the predicted coastal erosion extents. |
| Active Landfill | Contaminated Land | This dataset provides information on the authorised landfill sites currently in use under the Environmental Permitting Regulations by the Environment Agency. Additionally, Natural Resources Wales (NRW) issues waste permits across Wales, and their dataset includes information on waste facilities throughout the country, obtained from the permits. |
