NIEA - Land Use - Historic (INSPIRE View Service)

The Land Use Database held by the Northern Ireland Enviornment Agency (NIEA) provides a record of approximately 14,000 sites that have had previous industrial land use(s). This database was orginally developed in 1997 based on historic maps and records held provided by the Local Councils for the period 1834 to 1960. More recently this database was further updated using NIEA datasets such as the Industrial Heritage database, Waste Management License Database and Pollution Incidents Database. Records in NIEA's Land Use Database have not been fully validated and are provided on a “without prejudice” basis. This land use database is one information source of previous land use in Northern Ireland. Further landuse information for the area of interest should be sought from the local planning office and the local Council office. Further guidance can be obtained from the Land and Groundwater Team within the Land Resource Management Unit in NIEA. Users outside of the Spatial NI Portal please use Resource Locator 2.
