Access to Natural Green Space Inequalities (LSOA)

This layer explores the spatial relationship between accessibility of green spaces (measured as % LSOA covered by the respective green spaces and their ANGSt buffer) across the range of ANGSt Benchmarks and compares with one other variable. Attribute information in this layer can be found on Deprivation – as measured by the Index of Multiple Deprivation (MHCLG 2019) Population Density – Derived from ONS Census 2011 In this system L, M and H refer to low, medium and high for the percentage of the LSOA that is covered by the green spaces and their respective buffers. The thresholds used are: L = Less than 5% coverage M = 5% to under 50% H = 50 % and over Codes 1, 2 and 3 are the relative bands for the other assessment variable. For IMD the thresholds are: 1 = IMD decile 1 and 2 (Most deprived) 2 = IMD deciles 3 to 8 3 = IMD deciles 9 and 10 (least deprived) For population density the thresholds are: 1 = Population 10,000 people per square kilometre and above 2 – Population between 2500 and 10,000 people per square kilometre 3 = Population under 2500 people per square kilometre The "Access to Natural Green Space Inequalities" maps only look at those green spaces that were used to run the England ANGSt analysis and were done only at LSOA level. LSOA may contain other green spaces whose presence will not be picked up in this assessment.
