EWCO - NfC Ammonia Emissions Capture for SSSI Protection

<p>Spatial data supporting the England Woodland Creation Offer
(EWCO) additional point scoring for ammonia capture.<span>  </span>There is no Additional Contribution for
ammonia capture but EWCO supports action to address air pollution. Additional
points are available for creating shelterbelts designed to capture ammonia
emissions from farm sources in locations where there is a potential risk of air
pollution impacting a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) – where
sensitive habitats or species could be impacted by direct toxic effects of
ammonia, nitrogen deposition or acidification from ammonia emissions.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><p>The land under this dataset meets the following criteria:</p>

<p>Within any SSSI buffered by 1km (generalised to 200m).</p>

<p>AND</p>

<p>Within a SSSI Impact Risk Zone where the Air Pollution
component is not null.</p><br /><p></p><p></p><p>Data input sources:</p>

<p>Site of Special Scientific Interest (England) – Natural England</p>

<p>SSSI Impact Risk Zones (England) – Natural England</p>
