Dataset
LGN2023 is a grid file that shows Dutch land use in 2023 with a spatial resolution of 5m. The legend consists of 51 land use classes and is comparable with LGN2021 and LGN2022. However, some LGN classes changed their definition slightly due to adaptations in the production methodology.
LGN2023 is distinguishing the main agricultural crops, forest, water, nature and urban classes. LGN2023 is a continuation of LGN2021 and LGN2022. For LGN2022 compared to LGN2021 some small modifications were made.
The most important ones are:
- Use of OSM and Top10NL for mapping solar parks
- Introduction of small linear water elements
- Subdivision of BNL class 200 'Overig grondgebruik' into 200, 220 'Basaltblokken en steenglooiingen and 230 'bebouwd gebied'
- Introduction of MRT rules for new nature areas
- New dataset 'Agrarisch Natuur- en Landschapsbeheer (ANLb 030 verantwoordingsaanvraag (versie februari 2023)' to define 'Natuurlijk beheerde agrarische graslanden'.
- New way to produce the LGN classes 251, 252 and 252.
Next to these modifications applied for LGN2022 an additional small set of adaptations were made for LGN2023.
The most important ones are:
- Next to introduction of small linear water elements in LGN2022 (ditches), small water courses (0.5-3m) in swamp and salt marshes are taken up in LGN2023
- Small corrections 'Hoogveen', 'Zoet/zout water' and 'Kwelder' masker
- Small adaptations in the Multi Reclass Tool (MRT)
- Skipping of postprocessing step for classes 251, 252 and 253

The following files were used to create LGN2023: Top10NL (version January 2024), Basis Registratie Percelen 2023 (BRP2023), Basiskaart Natuur en Landschap 2023 (BNL2023), Basisregistratie Adressen en Gebouwen (BAG February 2024), Bestand BodemGebruik 2017 (BBG2017), Beheertypen IMNA (28 September 2023), Agrarisch
Natuur- en Landschapsbeheer (ANLb 030 verantwoordingsaanvraag (versie 9 november 2023)) and LGN2021 for the nature areas.
The dataset is public since September 2024 which is made possible by WOT Natuur & Milieu, Het Waterschapshuis, Interprovinciaal Overleg, RIVM and Wageningen Environmental Research.
