Hampshire Landscape Watch is an innovative new project, supported by Innovate UK, to map landscape changes in Hampshire over the last eight years. The objective is to characterise the county’s landscape on two dates, by analysing pairs of aerial photos held by Hampshire County Council, and thereby identify the changes that have taken place in the landscape between these dates. The project will produce the first detailed maps of landscape in the county, together with associated statistics. Results are to be used by Hampshire County Council in a variety of ways, including updating the habitat map of the county and improving flood risk assessment, and will be made available as open data via the Hampshire Hub.
