Casi and lidar habitat
A habitat map derived from airborne data, specifically CASI and LIDAR data. The habitat map is a polygon shapefile showing site relevant habitat classes, for sites where data is available.

Background information
Each planning consideration we work on passes through the stages of our design process, where we research and answer specific questions to help us collect more information.
Backlog
-
Who asked for 'Casi and lidar habitat' data?
Geospatial Commission - identified as a dataset to make data easier to find for the sector.
-
What is the driver for the request?
Other
-
Which 2024 focus area does the request support?
- Modern planning software
- Faster local plans
Screen
-
What is the 'Casi and lidar habitat' consideration?
- CASI (Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager)
- LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging)
The classification uses ground data from sites collected near to the time of CASI capture. Ground data is used to identify the characteristics of the different habitats in the CASI and LIDAR data. These characteristics are then used to classify the remaining areas into one of the different habitats.
-
Is there legislation that defines 'Casi and lidar habitat'?
No
-
Who, in law, is responsible for the planning consideration or makes decisions about 'Casi and lidar habitat'?
There is no legislation around CASI and LiDAR, but the accountability lies with the Environment Agency, as this is the body that has published the national dataset.

Is the Casi and lidar habitat a trigger?
No
-
Is the Casi and lidar habitat something to consult during plan making?
No

What are the planning needs for this data?
This dataset presents the characteristics of different habitats, through CASI and LiDAR data. This dataset allows us to identify the presence of different types of habitats through airbourne data, allowing planning and land use decisions to be made in a sensitive way to the site.
