Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN) indicator: Tree canopy coverage (UPRN_3_1)

This is an indicator with the tree canopy coverage for various distances (15m, 25m, 150m, 300m and 500m) from Unique Property Refence Numbers (UPRNs) in the Office for National Statistics (ONS) UPRN directory v2024.07 (Epoch 111). This metric is based on Bluesky’s National Tree Map™, which is the only tree dataset to include trees in Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland that are 3 metres and taller.
