Show breakdown

What it means: a snapshot of what England’s land is used for, built from Ordnance Survey mapping. Built-on land is everything covered by buildings, roads, railways and other developed uses; it does not include gardens, parks or sports grounds, which are shown separately. Farmland includes grazing as well as crops. Figures are for 2022, the latest available, and are not comparable with older land use statistics because the method changed.
