The map layers
Every layer comes from a public government service and is shown as that body publishes it. This page records who issues each one, what it covers, and where its limits are.
What an absence of a mark means
If a layer shows nothing at your point, that means the point is outside that dataset — not that the hazard, restriction or declaration does not exist. Several registers cover only some districts, and some are updated rarely.
