List of legacy waste deposits (including historical landfill sites) across England and Wales, ranked by environmental risk to the coastal environment under future climate scenarios

This dataset contains the output of a national-scale prioritisation exercise aimed at determining the risks posed by 30,310 legacy waste sites and historical landfill sites to the coastal environment of England and Wales. The analysis was repeated under three future coastal change scenarios (short-, medium-, and long-term), and is sortable based on the overall risk score for each climate scenario.
