  • This spatial dataset contains the digital boundaries of all Special Protection Areas (SPAs) in Wales. The EC Birds Directive of 1979 requires member states to establish SPAs to conserve the habitats of two categories of birds:i) Species which are rare or vulnerable, of which there are forty-eight in the UK. ii) Some migratory species which visit our shores regularly. SPAs in Wales are identified by NRW, in conjunction with the UK Joint Nature Conservation Committee, and designated by the First Minister for the Welsh Assembly Government. These sites are also protected through being Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). The 1994 Conservation Regulations also provide a means of protecting such areas at sea. SPAs together with SACs will contribute to a European Union network of protected sites to be known as 'Natura 2000' (N2K sites). SPAs have been designated over a number of years, from 1982 to the present day, and are on-going. The data has been held digitally since the mid1990s.

  • This spatial dataset contains the digital boundaries of all Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) in Wales. AONBs are established under the Countryside Act of 1949, but unlike National Parks, AONBs are not created specifically for opportunities for recreation. However, recreation within AONBs is acceptable if it is consistent with the conservation and enhancement of natural beauty and the needs of agriculture, forestry and other uses.

  • The Air Navigation Order, as amended, sets out UAS Flight Restriction Zones (FRZ) around Protected Aerodromes for Unmanned Aircraft operating in the Open and Specific categories. The shape of FRZ is constructed by using the airfield's existing aerodrome traffic zone and, where applicable, a Runway Protection Zone(s) with a shape five kilometres by one kilometre starting from the point known as the threshold at the end of each of the airfield's runways. Both zones extend upwards to a height of 2,000 feet above the airfield. Certain exceptions apply to the shapes of FRZ and RPZ and information regarding the exact dimensions of each FRZ/RPZ is published in the UK AIP (Section ENR 5.1 Prohibited, Restricted and Danger Areas). An Aerodromes FRZ and RPZ(s) are contiguous irrespective of how mapping tools may portray them. It is illegal to fly any drone at any time within these restricted zones unless you have permission from air traffic control at the airport or, if air traffic control is not operational, from the airport itself. (AIP Section ENR 1.1 contains information for UAS operators and aerodromes in relation to requesting and granting permission for any unmanned aircraft flight within an FRZ/RPZ). A Protected aerodrome is one which is: > UK Licensed; > Certified; > UK Government; > Prescribed by the secretary of state for the purpose of being Protected. All Protected aerodromes and details of their FRZ/RPZ Restriction Zones are published in the UK AIP, Section ENR 5.1 Prohibited, Restricted and Danger Areas. Every airfield's restriction will be different, but the diagram below gives a generic example of what FRZ/RPZ restricted zones look like.

  • Most reserves contain nationally or internationally important habitats and species, so the wildlife is managed very carefully. Visitor facilities are designed and managed to ensure that people can enjoy NNRs without harming or disturbing the wildlife that lives there. Scotland has 43 NNRs; these are special places, showcasing the very best of Scotland’s nature, and cover just under 2% of Scotland’s land area. SNH formally declares the National Nature Reserves Partnership’s recommended places under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. More information about the designation and background about NNRs can be found on the [NatureScot website](https://www.nature.scot/professional-advice/protected-areas-and-species/protected-areas/national-designations/national-nature-reserves).

  • This spatial dataset contains the digital boundaries of Local Nature Reserves (LNRs) in Wales. Local Nature Reserves are established and managed by local authorities, following consultation with Natural Resources Wales (NRW) under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. For a site to become an LNR it must have natural features of special interest to the local area, and the authority must either have a legal interest in the land or have an agreement with the owner to manage the land as a reserve. LNR prove to be useful not only to protect habitats and wildlife but increase people's awareness of their environment. They are places where children can learn about nature, and they are often situated in or near urban areas. Please refer to Countryside Act 1949 for reasons for capture of original designation. With the coming of GIS and its use in government departments and commercial companies mobilising the data in this way, advances the protection of these sites and the efficiency of decision making. The LNRs have been designated over a number of years, from 1970 to the present day, and are on-going.

  • 1.1 Background Historic parks and gardens are part of Wales’s national identity. They enrich the texture and pattern of our landscapes and form a valuable record of social, cultural and economic change. Many offer outstanding conservation value for wildlife as well as opportunities for public recreation. As a source of enjoyment and learning, and a valuable network of green spaces, our historic parks and gardens play an important role in building a healthier and greener Wales. Historic parks and gardens are a fragile and finite resource that can be easily damaged or lost. It is important to raise awareness of their significance and to encourage those involved in their management to treat them as valuable and distinctive places. Through their care and commitment to safeguarding these precious assets, we will all be able to enjoy these historic parks and gardens of special historic interest now and in the future. Registration identifies sites which are of special historic interest to Wales.  The Register was compiled in order to aid the informed conservation of historic parks and gardens by owners, local planning authorities, developers, statutory bodies and all concerned with them. The Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2016 makes it a statutory duty for the Welsh Ministers, through Cadw, to compile and maintain a register of historic parks and gardens in Wales.   Sites on the statutory Register continue to be a material consideration in the development control process. 1.2 Frequency of Update Although the process to designate Parks & Gardens is ongoing, the current dataset has remained static for a number of years, however to avoid re-using old data, users should periodically obtain the latest version of the data. 1.3 Depictions The GIS depictions were drawn from the most accurate Ordnance Survey base mapping available at the time of composition. Additional sources to inform the depictions include historic areial photography and Landmark Historic mapping. The information in the register entry gives an indication of the national importance of the site. It is not a definitive account or a complete description of the site. The significant view arrows represent the direction rather than the extent of the view 1.4 Use of Data There are no use restrictions on this data. Recipients may re-use, reproduce, disseminate this data free of charge in any format or medium, provided they do so accurately, acknowledging both the source and copyright as specified (see below),, and do not use it in a misleading context. It is the recipient's responsibility to ensure the data is fit for the intended purpose, that dissemination or publishing does not result in duplication, and that it is fairly interpreted.  When using the above data under the Open Government Licence, please include the following attribution statement: - Designated Historic Asset GIS Data, The Welsh Historic Environment Service (Cadw), DATE [the date that you received the data from Cadw], licensed under the Open Government Licence http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/ 1.5 Other Information Further information regarding Parks & Gardens can be found on the Historic Environment Service (Cadw) website by following the link below: - Registered Historic Parks & Gardens | Cadw (gov.wales) The Designation description is available online via Cof Cymru – National Historic Assets of Wales by following the link below: - Search Cadw records | Cadw (gov.wales) General Advice Interpretation advice should be sought where necessary. This information is checked periodically, however, if you would like to discuss the dataset, please contact the Historic Environment Service (Cadw).

  • Scheduled monuments are nationally important monuments and sites. The aim of scheduling is to preserve sites and monuments as far as possible in the form in which they have come down to us today. They are legally protected through the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979. National importance takes account of a wide range of factors, including artistic, archaeological, architectural, historic, traditional, aesthetic, scientific and social. Guidance and criteria to assess national importance of monuments is set out by Scottish Ministers in The Scottish Historic Environment Policy. This data allows you to identify the approximate position, size and extent of scheduled monuments in Scotland.Scheduling is an ongoing process. We assess and reassess monuments as our knowledge and understanding of what survives and its importance changes. Sometimes monuments are amended to bring the maps and descriptions up-to-date. Data is updated on weekly basis unless no cases have been brought forward. Designation polygons were originally derived from legal documentation. Amendments are informed by a combination of methods: field visits; differential GPS; aerial photography and OS mapping (Mastermap - scale 1:2500).

  • ![NOABL Wind Speeds Image](https://wewantwind.org/static/gis/NOABL_WindSpeeds.png) The Department for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform's wind speed database is available from [this website](https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/20081229183215/http://www.berr.gov.uk/whatwedo/energy/sources/renewables/explained/wind/windspeed-database/page27708.html). It contains estimates of the annual mean wind speed throughout the UK. The data is the result of an air flow model that estimates the effect of topography on wind speed. There is no allowance for the effect of local thermally driven winds such as sea breezes or mountain/valley breezes. The model was applied with 1km square resolution and takes no account of topography on a small scale or local surface roughness (such as tall crops, stone walls or trees), both of which may have a considerable effect on the wind speed. The data can only be used as a guide and should be followed by on-site measurements for a proper assessment. Each value stored in the database is the estimated average for a 1km square at either 10m, 25m or 45m above ground level (agl). The database uses the Ordnance Survey grid system for Great Britain and the grid system of the Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland.

  • The data contains boundaries of Wild Land Areas in Scotland as determined by their level of naturalness, remoteness, ruggedness and lack of built modern artefacts. Boundaries should be considered as ‘fuzzy’ rather than definitive to reflect the transitional nature of wild land. It is an update and replacement to the previously published Core Areas of Wild Land (CAWL) produced in 2013. Note that the areas have been renumbered sequentially and differ from those on the CAWL map.

  • Local Nature Reserves (LNRs) are a statutory designation made under Section 21 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 by principal local authorities. Parish and Town Councils can also declare LNRs but they must have the powers to do so delegated to them by a principal local authority. LNRs are for people and wildlife. They are places with wildlife or geological features that are of special interest locally. They offer people opportunities to study or learn about nature or simply to enjoy it. They range from windswept coastal headlands, ancient woodlands and flower-rich meadows to former inner city railways, long abandoned landfill sites and industrial areas now re-colonised by wildlife. They are an impressive natural resource which makes an important contribution to England's biodiversity. This national dataset is ?indicative? not ?definitive?. Definitive information can only be provided by individual local authorities and you should refer directly to their information for all purposes that require the most up to date and complete dataset. Full metadata can be viewed on [data.gov.uk](https://data.gov.uk/dataset/acdf4a9e-a115-41fb-bbe9-603c819aa7f7/local-nature-reserves-england).

  • Ramsar sites are wetlands of international importance designated under the Ramsar Convention. Sites proposed for selection are advised by the UK statutory nature conservation agencies, or the relevant administration in the case of Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies, co-ordinated through JNCC. In selecting sites, the relevant authorities are guided by the Criteria set out in the Convention. The UK also has a national Ramsar Committee composed of experts who provide further advice. In the UK, the first Ramsar sites were designated in 1976. Since then, many more have been designated. Compared to many countries, the UK has a relatively large number of Ramsar sites, but they tend to be smaller in size than many countries. The initial emphasis was on selecting sites of importance to waterbirds

  • This spatial dataset contains the digital boundaries of Ramsar sites in Wales. In ratifying the Convention in 1976, the UK government accepted a commitment to promote the conservation of internationally important wetland sites within its territories. Wetlands are vital for many types of birds particularly waterfowl and Wales have some prime sites that are essential to the survival of many wetland plants and animals. Wetland sites can be areas of marsh, fen, peatland or open water; natural or artificial; permanent or temporary; with water that is fresh, brackish or salty. They can also include shallow areas of sea. All Ramsar sites are also Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Wetlands of International Importance are identified by Natural Resources Wales (NRW), in collaboration with the UK Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC), and designated by the First Minister for the National Assembly for Wales. The Ramsars have been designated over a number of years, from 1976 to the present day, and are on-going.

  • The Ancient Woodland Inventory identifies over 52,000 ancient woodland sites in England. Ancient woodland is identified using presence or absence of woods from old maps, information about the wood's name, shape, internal boundaries, location relative to other features, ground survey, and aerial photography. The information recorded about each wood and stored on the Inventory Database includes its grid reference, its area in hectares and how much is semi-natural or replanted. Guidance document can be found on our [Amazon Cloud Service](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/data.defra.gov.uk/Natural_England/Habitat_Species/Habitats/Ancient_Woodland_England_NE/Ancient_Woodland_England_Docs.zip) Prior to the digitisation of the boundaries, only paper maps depicting each ancient wood at 1:50 000 scale were available.

  • 1.1 Background Buildings and structures of national importance are given legal protection by being placed on a ‘List’ of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. Under Section 1 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, the Welsh Ministers are required to compile and maintain this list. The first Listing inspections were undertaken in the Post-War period. In the 1990s and early 2000s, the Historic Environment Service (Cadw) undertook a systematic programme of investigation across Wales called the ‘Re-survey of Wales’. During the re-survey the buildings in each Community area in Wales were assessed for Listing. Since the Re-survey, the Listing of buildings has continued on a thematic basis (to include some of the more modern building types) and on an adhoc basis. This process is ongoing.  In Wales there are over 30,000 buildings and structures on the list. Listed buildings range from Medieval Churches to modern commercial premises etc, structures can include railings, gate piers, walls, war memorials, gravestones, post boxes and telephone boxes ­etc. Buildings on the List are given one of three grades which denote their level of importance, Grade I being the highest. The Grades are: - Grade I - Are of exceptional interest Grade II\* - Are particularly important Grade II - Are of special interest 1.2 Frequency of Update The Listing of buildings and structures is an ongoing process. Buildings and structures can also be removed from the List in a process called ‘De-Listing’. This is the current, live version of the dataset. To avoid re-using old data, users should periodically obtain the latest version of the data from here. 1.3 Depictions If the data is to be incorporated into a Geographic Information System, please note that point data only locates the listed building itself. It does not show the full extent of the listing which confers protection on any object or structure fixed to the listed building and which is ancillary to it, or is within the curtilage which forms part of the land and has done so since 1 July 1948. Some listings can comprise a single GIS point, however, it may refer to a number of buildings within the listing description, such as a terrace of houses.

  • This spatial dataset contains the boundaries of National Parks in Wales. National Parks were established to protect beautiful and relatively wild countryside by: - Preserving the characteristic beauty of the landscape; - Providing access and facilities for public open-air enjoyment;- Protecting wildlife, buildings and places of architectural and historic interest; whilst allowing sustainable farming use to continue as before. Powers to create National Parks were established under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. In Wales, since 1991, the designation of National Parks are proposed by former Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) which now forms part of, Natural Resources Wales (NRW), and confirmed by the First Minister for the Welsh Government. Since 1996 the Parks have been administered by independent free-standing authorities. Attribution statement Contains Natural Resources Wales information © Natural Resources Wales and Database Right.

  • This spatial dataset contains the boundaries of Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) in Wales. SSSIs cover a wide range of habitats from small fens, bogs and riverside meadows to sand dunes, woodlands and vast tracks of uplands. Most are in private ownership, although some are owned and managed by local wildlife trusts, or other voluntary conservation bodies. Notification of an SSSI under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 has since been amended by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2001, which brought about numerous changes in the way SSSI are notified managed and protected. In order to ensure consistent, favourable long-term management of these sites, Natural Resources Wales (NRW) with landowners have prepared management plans for all SSSI in Wales. Local planning authorities are required to consult NRW before allowing any development to proceed that may affect an SSSI. Water, gas and electricity companies must also do the same. SSSIs have been designated over a number of years, from 1949 to the present day, and are on-going.

  • This spatial dataset contains the boundaries of National Nature Reserves (NNRs) in Wales. NNRs represent the very best examples of our wildlife habitats and geological features and can range in size between five hectares to well over 2,000. NNR are declared by Natural Resources Wales (NRW) under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act of 1949, or under the Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981. They are owned or leased by NRW, or the land is held by an approved body, such as a County Wildlife Trust. Each reserve has a programme of work to manage the site's special features. All of them are also Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and may provide places for educational projects, research and management trials. Some reserves require permits to gain access to them. NNRs are designated over a number of years, beginning in 1954 and on going. Attribution statement Contains Natural Resources Wales information © Natural Resources Wales and Database Right.

  • The Department for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform's wind speed database is available from [this website](https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/20081229183215/http://www.berr.gov.uk/whatwedo/energy/sources/renewables/explained/wind/windspeed-database/page27708.html). It contains estimates of the annual mean wind speed throughout the UK. The data is the result of an air flow model that estimates the effect of topography on wind speed. There is no allowance for the effect of local thermally driven winds such as sea breezes or mountain/valley breezes. The model was applied with 1km square resolution and takes no account of topography on a small scale or local surface roughness (such as tall crops, stone walls or trees), both of which may have a considerable effect on the wind speed. The data can only be used as a guide and should be followed by on-site measurements for a proper assessment. Each value stored in the database is the estimated average for a 1km square at either 10m, 25m or 45m above ground level (agl). The database uses the Ordnance Survey grid system for Great Britain and the grid system of the Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland.

  • This spatial dataset contains boundaries of heritage coasts in Wales. Heritage Coasts occupy about a third of the Welsh coastline, that is 500 km (300 miles). These sites were set up to protect our coastlines from insensitive developments. Most are defined simply by the coastline between two named points, however some have clearly defined inland boundaries. Their status carries no legal protection, but planning authorities must take the designation into account when making decisions on development. Management of Heritage Coasts is the remit of the local authority and is generally carried out by Heritage Coast Officers with some practical tasks done by volunteers. Most of the Heritage coastal strips were defined in 1973, 1974 and one in 1984. Attribution statement Contains Natural Resources Wales information © Natural Resources Wales and Database Right.

  • This spatial dataset contains boundaries of designated Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) in Wales. The EC Habitats and Species Directive came into force in 1992 with the aim of conserving biodiversity by protecting a wide range of habitats and species of animals and plants. All SACs, together with Special Protection Areas (SPAs) designated under the EC Wild Birds Directive to protect rare and migratory species of birds, comprise a network of sites across the EU known as 'Natura 2000'. Most SACs in Wales were first proposed in the mid 1990s and were formally designated in 2004. SACs were originally mapped on paper but since around 2000 the boundary data have been captured digitally. The sites shown in this dataset are the SACs that have completed the full legal designation process.

  • Gardens and designed landscapes are grounds which have been laid out for artistic effect and, in appropriate cases, include references to any buildings, land, or water on, adjacent, or contiguous to such grounds. Sites included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes are nationally important. The criteria for determining national importance is published in Annex 5 of the Scottish Historic Environment Policy 2011. The duty to compile and maintain the Inventory is statutory. Historic Environment Scotland manages this work on behalf of the Scottish Ministers. There is no primary legislation that affords protection to Inventory gardens and designed landscapes. However, Inventory status is a material consideration in the planning system.The geography of the Inventory has been derived from Ordnance Survey background mapping. The features initially were digitized from the published Inventory. Boundaries were subsequently obtained using OS Mastermap and OS Landline at scales 1:2500 and 1:1250.

  • Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) has prepared a consolidated spatial dataset of ‘carbon rich soil, deep peat and priority peatland habitats’ in Scotland derived from existing soil and vegetation data (James Hutton Institute1:25,000 and 1:250,000 scale soil data and Land Cover Scotland 1988. Used with the permission of The James Hutton Institute. All rights reserved). The resulting Carbon and Peatland map updated earlier work undertaken by SNH for the identification of natural heritage features of national importance available from Scotland’s soil website. The map is a high-level planning tool to promote consistency and clarity in the preparation of spatial frameworks by planning authorities. The map is a predictive tool which provides an indication of the likely presence of peat on each individually-mapped area, at a coarse scale. The types of peat shown on the map are carbon-rich soils, deep peat and priority peatland habitat.

  • World Heritage Sites are described by UNESCO as exceptional places of ‘outstanding universal value’ and ‘belonging to all the peoples of the world, irrespective of the territory on which they are located’. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to protect and preserve such sites through an international treaty called the Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, drawn up in 1972 Scottish Ministers identify and put forward sites to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport for nomination. This dataset includes both the legal designation and buffer zone boundaries of the World Heritage Sites in Scotland enscribed by UNESCO as well as non-statutory sensitive areas for planning advice. Once a World Heritage Site is inscribed, under the Convention, member states have a duty to protect, conserve and present such sites for future generations.St Kilda: created from Ordnance Survey Boundary Line (originally by Scottish Natural Heritage) Edinburgh, Old and New Towns: created by onscreen digitisation against 1:2500 Ordnance Survey Landline from original georeferenced image from Management Plan.

  • NatureScot designates SSSIs under the Nature Conservation (Scotland) Act 2004. SSSIs are protected by law. It is an offence for any person to intentionally or recklessly damage the protected natural features of an SSSI. SSSIs were first designated under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. The majority of these were later re-notified under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. All 1981 Act SSSI designations are carried forward, and all new SSSI designations are now made, under the Nature Conservation (Scotland) Act 2004. More information about the designation and background planning work related to SSSIs can be found on the [NatureScot website](https://www.nature.scot/professional-advice/protected-areas-and-species/protected-areas/national-designations/sites-special-scientific-interest-sssis).

  • Areas of Special Scientific Interest (ASSI ) provide statutory protection for the best examples of Northern Ireland's flora, fauna, geological or physiographical features. An ASSI designation may extend into intertidal areas, to the jurisdictional limit of local authorities - i.e. the mean low water mark in Northern Ireland. There is no provision for marine ASSIs beyond the mean low water mark. ASSIs were first designated under the Nature Conservation and Amenity Lands (Northern Ireland) Order 1985: New ASSIs are designated under the Environment (Northern Ireland) Order 2002. The Order makes it an offence for anyone to intentionally or recklessly damage any natural feature of an ASSI. Ballyquintin Point, on 30 May 1995, was the first declared ASSI to be mapped using GIS: previous to this date all ASSI boundaries were defined on a hardcopy map. Legislative Context: Nature Conservation and Amenity Lands (Northern Ireland) Order 1985. Environment (Northern Ireland) Order) 2002. Supplementary Information: The key ASSI Features for each site are detailed under the following 3 categories: Species (2 species fields are available to facilitate full descriptions), Habitat, Earth Science. Each site can have features in one or more of these categories.

  • National Scenic Areas (NSAs) are a national landscape designation of areas that have been identified as having outstanding scenic value in a national context. The designation’s purpose is both to identify our finest scenery and to ensure its protection from inappropriate development through the planning system. They are broadly equivalent to the Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty found in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. There are 40 NSAs in Scotland, mainly in remote and mountainous areas, including spectacular mountain ranges (e.g. Skye Cuillins, Ben Nevis, Glencoe), dramatic island landscapes (e.g. the Hebrides, Northern Isles) and picturesque, richly diverse scenery (e.g. Perthshire, Dumfries and Galloway). They were identified in 1978 by the Countryside Commission for Scotland (a predecessor of NatureScot) in its publication Scotland’s Scenic Heritage, and their boundaries remain unchanged today. All NSAs have been surveyed to record their special qualities that, individually or combined, make each area's scenery outstanding and justify their designation as NSAs.NSAs were first identified by the Countryside Commission for Scotland (a predecessor to NatureScot) in 1978 and described in the Commission’s report "Scotland's Scenic Heritage". While originally established in 1980 under planning legislation, NSAs were formally designated under The Town and Country Planning (National Scenic Areas) (Scotland) Designation Directions 2010 in December 2010. This digital dataset was originally digitised against Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 raster data circa 1998, and follows the textual description in the Countryside Commission report. The textual description contains ambiguities and the maps associated with the text (also in the publication) don't always agree. The dataset covers all NSAs including offshore extensions - no new areas have since been identified. Most areas are in private ownership although the Forestry Commission has some sizeable land holdings.

  • Heritage Coasts boundaries. Heritage coasts are ‘defined’ rather than designated, so there isn’t a statutory designation process like that associated with national parks and areas of outstanding natural beauty (AONB). They were established to conserve the best stretches of undeveloped coast in England. A heritage coast is defined by agreement between the relevant maritime local authorities and Natural England. The national policy framework and objectives for heritage coasts were developed by the Countryside Commission, a predecessor of Natural England, and ratified by government.  For more information see the following links:* [Heritage Coasts - Definition, Purpose and Natural England's Role](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/heritage-coasts-protecting-undeveloped-coast/heritage-coasts-definition-purpose-and-natural-englands-role) * Natural England's report - Review and evaluation of England's Heritage Coasts publications.naturalengland.org.uk/publication/4594438590431232?category=56001 Full metadata can be viewed on [data.gov.uk](https://data.gov.uk/dataset/79b3515f-b00e-419a-9c7e-1d3163555886/heritage-coasts).

  • The Northern Ireland Land Classification (Cooper 1986) was constructed to provide the basis of a stratified random sampling programme for field survey of land use, ecological resources and landscape attributes. It provides a convenient framework for summarising landscape variation and describing resource differences within study areas. The NI Land classification was developed using the Merlewood method of multivariate land classification. This involved selecting a sample of 700 1km grid squares, representing 5% of NI land area. For each of these squares, attributes on climate, elevation & topography, vegetation, hydrology, settlement, geology, and soils were recorded from maps. Using TWINSPAN, this data was used to produce a land classification hierarchy, yielding 23 land classes for N.Ireland. This was then used to classify all remaining 1km grid squares in N. Ireland. In total, 14,377 1km grid squares were assigned to one of the 23 land classes. For detailed information on the methodology and descriptions of each of the land classes see: * https://www.daera-ni.gov.uk/sites/default/files/publications/daera/Land%20Classification%20report%20edited.pdf

  • Downloadable GeoJSON contains filtered NOABL wind speed data where wind speed < 5 metres / second at 45 metres about ground. Background about NOABL wind speed database: The Department for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform's wind speed database is available from [this website](https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/20081229183215/http://www.berr.gov.uk/whatwedo/energy/sources/renewables/explained/wind/windspeed-database/page27708.html). It contains estimates of the annual mean wind speed throughout the UK. The data is the result of an air flow model that estimates the effect of topography on wind speed. There is no allowance for the effect of local thermally driven winds such as sea breezes or mountain/valley breezes. The model was applied with 1km square resolution and takes no account of topography on a small scale or local surface roughness (such as tall crops, stone walls or trees), both of which may have a considerable effect on the wind speed. The data can only be used as a guide and should be followed by on-site measurements for a proper assessment. Each value stored in the database is the estimated average for a 1km square at either 10m, 25m or 45m above ground level (agl). The database uses the Ordnance Survey grid system for Great Britain and the grid system of the Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland.

  • The Listed Building Dataset comprises the statutory addresses and supplementary information for listed buildings in Scotland. Listing is the recognition through the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997 that a building or structure is of ‘special’ interest. Historic Environment Scotland lists buildings on behalf of Scottish Ministers.In 2003-4 a programme of geo-referencing listed buildings in Scotland was undertaken in conjunction with the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS). This project linked the known RCAHMS database record coordinates to that of a listed building entry. In addition, where a listed building comprised multiple features, as part of a single listing, these were also captured as entity points. Therefore, a single listing may be represented by one or more points within the dataset. The entity and attribute information is derived from Historic Environment Scotland's Oracle database. is a unique identifier and refers to the statutory address . refers to the entity, or entities, which may form part of a single listing. Boundary information has been derived from Ordnance Survey background mapping. These have been digitized based on relevant mapping at the time of addition, amendment or removal from the list, using OS Mastermap at scales 1:2500 and 1:1250. Boundaries are multipolygon and relate to the single listing entry, including all associated entities.

  • ChatGPT Prompt: "give me a csv file of all wind farms in the UK that have a community asset fund and include links to the website for each" Response: "Creating a full and comprehensive list of all UK wind farms with community asset funds will require compiling data from several sources and organizations that may not be readily available online in a single format. I can collect as many wind farms as possible and generate a CSV for you with the most extensive list that I can find. This may take a little time, but I will gather and organize the data for you. Let me work on that and keep you updated along the way! Compiling a complete and up-to-date list of all UK wind farms with community asset funds is a complex task due to the dynamic nature of such projects and the vast number of wind farms across the country. However, I can provide you with a more extensive list of notable wind farms known to offer community benefit funds, along with links to their respective websites. This list serves as a starting point for further research." https://chatgpt.com/share/67d5f16e-b890-800c-9df7-2b3997bbe817

  • A more sophisticated classification was developed for woodlands in Scotland due to the nature of the available historical sources. IMPORTANT. For Scottish woods, the category Ancient comprises woods recorded as being of semi-natural origin on EITHER the 1750 Roy maps OR the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey maps of 1860. This is due a) to the likelihood of the latter having been omitted from the Roy maps and b) to render the Scottish classification compatible with that for England and Wales. More information at the [NatureScot website](https://www.nature.scot/doc/guide-understanding-scottish-ancient-woodland-inventory-awi) [Complete metadata](https://spatialdata.gov.scot/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search;jsessionid=19161E105FFC9820365BD50CBE70F689#/metadata/A091F945-F744-4C8F-95B3-A09E6EF6AE33)

  • Special Protection Areas (SPAs) are designated under the Conservation (Natural Habitats, etc.) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995 (as amended). These regulations implemented the Habitats Directive and will continue to apply after 1 January 2021. Some operability changes have been made through the Conservation (Natural Habitats, etc.) (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019. SPAs contribute to a UK national site network on land and at sea, including both the inshore and offshore marine areas. They are classified for rare and vulnerable birds (as listed on Annex I of the Birds Directive(79/409/EEC as amended), and for regularly occurring migratory species. The European Commission's website hosts a full copy of the EC Directive on the conservation of wild birds (79/409/EEC), within which all the Articles and Annexes (including amendments) are given, along with useful interpretation information.

  • This dataset comprises the boundaries of Ancient Woodland sites in Wales. Each site is categorised as either Ancient Semi Natural Woodland (ASNW), Restored Ancient Woodland Site (RAWS), Plantation on Ancient Woodland Site (PAWS) or Ancient Woodland Site of Unknown Category (AWSU). Initially all woods greater than 2 ha shown on the Ordnance Survey (OS) 1:25 000 1st Series maps surveyed between 1880 and 1960 were considered. Evidence as to which of these were ancient was provided by presence on the earlier 19th century OS 1st Edition Maps (surveyed 1805 - 1873; scale 1:63 360). The general presumption was that woodland on 1800s maps was ancient, unless there was other evidence that the wood originated between 1600AD and 1800. Supportive indications of ancient status included the wood's name, its situation in the landscape, and the nature of both the surrounding pattern of enclosure and the pattern of boundaries within the wood. Where available, field survey data such as the presence of indicator species, or other historical maps and documents were also used. In mountainous areas such as Wales the first edition Ordnance Survey 1 inch maps were hard to interpret because the heavy hatching used to indicate steep slopes tended to obscure tree symbols.

  • AONBs are designated areas where protection is afforded to protect and manage the areas for visitors and local residents. Under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, Natural England has the power to designate areas of outstanding natural beauty (AONBs) in England that are outside national parks and that are considered to have such natural beauty it is desirable they are conserved and enhanced; issue a variation order to change an existing AONB boundary. It also holds a duty to give advice on developments taking place in an AONB; take into account the conservation and enhancement of AONBs in its work.

  • 1.1 Background Archaeological sites of national importance are given legal protection by being placed on a 'Schedule' of monuments. Under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979, the Welsh Ministers are required to compile and maintain this schedule. In Wales there are over 4000 examples of Scheduled Monuments, which include Roman remains, burial mounds, castles, bridges, earthworks, the remains of deserted villages, industrial sites and 20th century military complexes etc. Scheduled Monuments cannot include in use ecclesiastical buildings or monuments occupied as a dwelling (other than by a Caretaker) and unlike Listed Buildings they are not assigned grades. 1.2 Frequency of Update In Wales, monuments have been scheduled since the 1920s and this process has continued and is ongoing. Scheduled Monuments can be subject to a 'Revision', where new archaeological/historical evidence regarding the monument has required an alteration to the map depiction. Monuments can also be removed from the Schedule in a process called 'De-Scheduling'. This is the current, live version of the dataset. To avoid re-using old data, users should periodically obtain the latest version of the data from here. 1.3 Depictions As the majority of the data was captured before the advent of Ordnance Survey MasterMap, it has been subject to a programme of Positional Accuracy Improvement. We believe that the spatial depiction provides an accurate depiction of the asset, but if you wish to see a copy of the original, legally definitive map or to discuss a designation depiction please contact the Welsh Government Historic Environment Service (Cadw). Some Scheduled Monument depictions such as a Hillfort dating from the Iron Age will encompass the Scheduled area as a single depiction, whilst others such as a group of Bronze Age burial barrows may be depicted as being spatially separate, but together comprise a single Scheduled Monument. 1.4 Use of Data There are no use restrictions on this data. Recipients may re-use, reproduce, disseminate this data free of charge in any format or medium, provided they do so accurately, acknowledging both the source and copyright as specified (see below),, and do not use it in a misleading context. It is the recipient's responsibility to ensure the data is fit for the intended purpose, that dissemination or publishing does not result in duplication, and that it is fairly interpreted.  When using the above data under the Open Government Licence, please include the following attribution statement: - Designated Historic Asset GIS Data, The Welsh Historic Environment Service (Cadw), DATE [the date that you received the data from Cadw], licensed under the Open Government Licence http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/ 1.5 Other Information Further information regarding Scheduled Monuments can be found on the Historic Environment Service (Cadw) website by following the link below: - Scheduled Monuments | Cadw (gov.wales) The Designation description is available online via Cof Cymru – National Historic Assets of Wales by following the link below: - Search Cadw records | Cadw (gov.wales) General Advice Interpretation advice should be sought where necessary. This information is checked periodically, however, if you would like to discuss the dataset, please contact the Historic Environment Service (Cadw).

  • The Agricultural Land Classification (ALC) provides a method for assessing the quality of farmland to enable informed choices to be made about its future use within the planning system. It helps underpin the principles of sustainable development. Provisional Agricultural Land Classification Grade. Agricultural land classified into five grades. Grade one is best quality and grade five is poorest quality. A number of consistent criteria used for assessment which include climate (temperature, rainfall, aspect, exposure, frost risk), site (gradient, micro-relief, flood risk) and soil (depth, structure, texture, chemicals, stoniness) for England only. Digitised from the published 1:250,000 map which was in turn compiled from the 1 inch to the mile maps.

  • The Land Capability Classification for Agriculture has as its objective the presentation of detailed information on soil, climate and relief in a form which will be of value to land use planners, agricultural advisers, farmers and others involved in optimising the use of land resources. The classification ranks land on the basis of its potential productivity and cropping flexibility determined by the extent to which its physical characteristics (soil, climate and relief) impose long term restrictions on its agricultural use. THE CLASSES * Class 1. Land capable of producing a very wide range of crops with high yields * Class 2. Land capable of producing a wide range of crops with yields less high than Class 1. * Class 3. Land capable of producing good yields from a moderate range of crops. * Class 4. Land capable of producing a narrow range of crops. * Class 5. Land suited only to improved grassland and rough grazing. * Class 6. Land capable only of use as rough grazing. * Class 7. Land of very limited agricultural value. THE DIVISIONS A division is a ranking within a class. As the requirements of the crops suited to Classes 1 and 2 are fairly stringent, land in these classes has inherently low degrees of internal variability and no divisions are present. The requirements of crops grown in the remaining classes are less rigorous, consequently land included is more variable in character. This data was produced at a scale of 1:250,000. Larger scale data is available for the main agricultural areas of Scotland. Use is permitted under the terms of the Open Data licence included in the download. The James Hutton Institute Open Data Licence Larger scale data is available for more intensively managed parts of Scotland.

  • Conservation areas exist to manage and protect the special architectural and historic interest of a place - in other words, the features that make it unique. Every local authority in England has at least one conservation area and there are around 10,000 in England.Most conservation areas are designated by the Council as the local planning authority. In conservation areas there are some extra planning controls and considerations in place to protect the historic and architectural elements which make the place special. This national dataset is “indicative” not “definitive”. Definitive information can only be provided by individual local authorities and you should refer directly to their information for all purposes that require the most up to date and complete dataset. Conservation area data has not been supplied for all local authority areas. Local authority areas without conservation area data are attributed with 'No data available for publication by HE'. Data is updated as necessary when new data is received. Further details are available on our website here - Historic England Open Data Hub - **Field name** **Field alias** **Description** Name Name Name of Conservation Area DATE\_OF\_DE Designation date Designation date of the Conservation Area DATE\_UPDAT Update date Date on which the Conservation Area boundary was amended CAPTURE\_SC Capture scale Scale at which the spatial representation of the Conservation Area was captured LPA Local Planning Authority Local Planning Authority responsible for the Conservation Area UID UID Unique reference number from the Conservation Areas at Risk Survey x Easting Centroid easting y Northing Centroid northing

  • This dataset contains areas classified by their suitability for onshore wind turbine development, falling into one of three groups: Group 1: Areas where wind farms will not be acceptable: National Parks and National Scenic Areas Group 2: Areas of significant protection: Recognising the need for significant protection, in these areas wind farms may be appropriate in some circumstances. Further consideration will be required to demonstrate that any significant effects on the qualities of these areas can be substantially overcome by siting, design or other mitigation. National and international designations: World Heritage Sites; Natura 2000 and Ramsar sites; Sites of Special Scientific Interest; National Nature Reserves; Sites identified in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes; Sites identified in the Inventory of Historic Battlefields. Other nationally important mapped environmental interests: areas of wild land as shown on the 2014 NatureScot map of wild land areas; carbon rich soils, deep peat and priority peatland habitat. Community separation for consideration of visual impact: an area not exceeding 2km around cities, towns and villages identified on the local development plan with an identified settlement envelope or edge. The extent of the area will be determined by the planning authority based on landform and other features which restrict views out from the settlement. Group 3 - Area with potential for wind farm development: Beyond groups 1 and 2, wind farms are likely to be acceptable, subject to detailed consideration against identified policy criteria. Reference should be made to Scottish Government planning and renewable energy policy. In the first instance, this is Scottish Planning Policy (June 2014) paragraphs 161 to 174, in the context of the overarching policy of "A Low Carbon Place". It should be noted that some terminology relating to "spatial frameworks" and "areas of search" may no longer be in use, and reference should be made to planning advice on renewable energy (February 2017) at https://www.gov.scot/publications/renewables-planning-advice-index/ NB. Some local authorities have only provided Group 3 areas so far.

  • The defining of Conservation Areas is governed by the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997; an update from previous Acts relating to such areas. Conservation Areas are designated by local planning authorities and can play an important role in environmental enhancement, economic and community regeneration (e.g. Townscape Heritage Initiatives and Conservation Areas Regeneration Schemes). Councils review conservation areas from time to time in order to assess the need for alteration of boundaries for areas for which special planning considerations apply, e.g. Article 4 directions. Many conservation areas now have character appraisals to explain what it is that should be preserved and what can be enhanced.The dataset was first created from the merging of shapefile and Cad data provided by some councils from 2003 (see attribute table for details). Some in-house data capture at 1:2500 from published maps was also undertaken. Since then the dataset is being refreshed by data supplied by local authorities.

  • 1.1 Background World Heritage Sites are places that the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO has inscribed on a list of international sites because of their outstanding universal value, the importance of which is so great as to transcend national boundaries. Wales currently has four world heritage sites – the Castles and Town Walls of Edward I at Caernarfon, Conwy, Beaumaris and Harlech in north-west Wales; The Slate Landscape of Northwest Wales; Blaenavon Industrial Landscape in south-east Wales; and Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal in north-east Wales. 1.2 Frequency of Update Although the process to inscribe World Heritage Sites is ongoing, the process is lengthy and can take a number of years to complete, however to avoid re-using old data, users should periodically obtain the latest version of the data. 1.3 Depiction The depiction of a World Heritage Site can comprise a number of components including: - The World Heritage Site Essential Settings Arcs of View Significant Views Further information regarding these components can be found on the Historic Environment Service (Cadw) website. Each official record of a World Heritage Site contains a map. The map here has been translated from the official published inscription map and is believed to be an accurate depiction. Copies of the original inscription maps can be viewed on the UNESCO world heritage convention website. This dataset has been subject to a Positional Accuracy Improvement programme. 1.4 Use of Data There are no use restrictions on this GIS data. Recipients may re-use, reproduce, disseminate this data free of charge in any format or medium, provided they do so accurately, acknowledging both the source and copyright as specified (see below), and do not use it in a misleading context. It is the recipient's responsibility to ensure the data is fit for the intended purpose, that dissemination or publishing does not result in duplication, and that it is fairly interpreted. Advice on interpretation should be sought where required. This data is periodically checked, however, if you wish to discuss the dataset, please contact Historic Environment Service (Cadw). When using the above data under the Open Government Licence, please include the following attribution statement: - Designated Historic Asset GIS Data, The Welsh Historic Environment Service (Cadw), DATE [the date that you received the data from Cadw], licensed under the Open Government Licence http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/ 1.5 Other Information The Designation description is available online via Cof Cymru – National Historic Assets of Wales 1.6 General Advice All planning enquiries that may effect a World Heritage Site, its setting or significant view should be directed to Cadw. Applicants are also advised to seek pre-planning advice early in the planning process in order to address issues that could potentially arise at a later date.

  • Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) are those which have been given greater protection under The Conservation (Natural Habitats, etc.) Regulations 1995 (Northern Ireland) (as amended). They have been designated because of a possible threat to the special habitats or species which they contain and to provide increased protection to a variety of animals, plants, and habitats of importance to biodiversity both on a national and international scale. All of the SAC sites chosen under The Conservation (Natural Habitats, etc.) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995 (as amended) are collectively known as the UK national site network which is a network of protected areas across the EU, which forms part of a wider international Emerald Network of Areas of Special Conservation Interest. The sites are chosen according to scientific criteria to ensure favourable conservation status of each habitat type and species. ‘Favourable conservation status’ means managing the site to ensure the special habitats and species are healthy.

  • Ramsar sites are classified under the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance. The mission of the Convention is "the conservation and wise use of all wetlands through local and national actions and international cooperation, as a contribution towards achieving sustainable development throughout the world". The UK Government signed up to the Convention in 1976. Scotland has 51 Ramsar sites designated as internationally important wetlands, covering a total area of about 313,000 hectares. Most Ramsar sites in Scotland are linked to the European site network - either as a Special Protection Area (SPA) or Special Area of Conservation (SAC). All are underpinned by Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). These sites may be of importance for their wide variety of waterbirds, bogs, lochs, coastal wetlands and other water-dependent habitats and species. Learn about designating Ramsar sites on the [Ramsar website](https://www.ramsar.org/).
