We’re thrilled to announce the latest release of our UKHab & BNG Platform, packed with enhancements based directly on your feedback. This update introduces a game-changing Condition Assessment Export feature to save both your time and your sanity, and introduces our new gap analysis tool to further streamline your UKHab & BNG workflow.
Condition Assessment Export
Export your entire site’s condition assessments at the click of a button
Say goodbye to manual data entry and hello to increased efficiency and accuracy! This new feature is a huge time-saver, allowing you to export your condition assessment data directly into Defra’s Statutory biodiversity metric condition assessments workbook with a single click. If you have recorded more than 10 records of a single habitat type, additional workbooks will be automatically created and filled in for you.
Gap Analysis Tool
A powerful addition to our GIS tools
Ensure your habitat records are accurate and fit for the metric by identifying and correcting gaps, using our new gap analysis tool.
This feature works alongside our existing Overlaps feature to highlight any gaps between habitat records within your site boundary. You can then select and zoom directly to their location and use our full suite of GIS tools to correct them effectively.
To make life even easier, you can simply toggle off the geometry and base map visibility to more clearly see your overlaps.
Improved GIS Tools
Improved handling of self-intersecting geometries
We’ve improved our GIS tools for a smoother, more accurate experience. When creating geometries that self-intersect, Coreo now intelligently selects the largest part of the intersecting area, preventing the accidental creation of small slivers.
Additional Improvements
- Settings for snap tolerance and geometry simplification amount have been added to the UKHab & BNG Platform GIS toolset.
- The Snap and No Overlaps tools will persist when selected.
- ‘Diff’ and ‘Diff All’ have been renamed to ‘Clip’ and ‘Clip All’ for consistency and clarity.
- We’ve added National Character Areas to the available set of map layers.
- We’ve also made some behind-the-scenes improvements to Coreo in preparation for a major update coming soon (keep your eyes peeled for that one!)
