Back in Business rate support scheme applications and awards from April 2024

The information published in this table is based on data held by Land and Property Services (LPS). The information provided in the table is updated on a quarterly basis and is at month end. The names and alphabetical order of the District Councils relate to names as detailed currently in legislation. Information on applications is provided on the number of applications which have been received since the scheme relaunched on 15th May 2024. Information on awards is based on the number of occupancies, where an occupancy represents a liable person, persons, business or organisation at a property at a given time, that have been awarded Back in Business support on their rates, as part of the Back in Business support scheme launched in May 2024. The figures only include occupancies that have an occupancy start date on or after the 1st April 2024 and where there has been an award of Back in Business support of more than £0. Information on the amount awarded is the total amount for all District Councils at a point in time and as such, is subject to revision.

Quarterly Property Vacancy Rates by District Council and Sector

These tables relate to properties recorded as vacant on the Land & Property Services (LPS) rating system. The information provided is at a point in time and the tables are updated quarterly. Data is presented by District Council and by Property type.
This data is provided by Domestic*, Non-Domestic and overall totals. Mixed properties (a property that is a mix of Domestic and Non-Domestic) are included within the Non-Domestic totals.

Rating legislation does not require ratepayers to notify LPS of changes to Domestic property occupancy in all circumstances therefore, the numbers presented may not accurately reflect all vacant properties in each District Council.

All properties on the valuation list that have District Council information are included, e.g. Caravans, Domestic Garages, Domestic Stores, Car Parking Spaces, Shops, Offices, Warehouses, ATMs etc.

*Note, the Domestic property numbers provided in these tables are counted differently from the Housing Stock figures for Northern Ireland because Caravans, Domestic Garages, Domestic Stores, Car Parking Spaces are included in this Domestic property count and Mixed properties are excluded.

GP Prescribing Data

The data covers prescriptions that are prescribed in Northern Ireland by GPs or Nurses (within a GP Practice), that are subsequently dispensed by a community pharmacist, dispensing doctor or appliance supplier and are finally submitted to the Business Services Organisation (BSO) for payment and have been paid. 

Full user guidance is available at: https://gpdatasets.hscni.net/ 

The Gross Cost is the basic price of a drug, i.e. the price listed in the National Drug Tariff, concessionary price list, or in standard price lists. 
Please note concessionary prices have to be approved by the Department of Health (DoH). Where DoH instructs BSO to apply reimbursement prices for a particular month after payment has already been made, these are paid as an adjustment and these prices are known as late concessionary prices. Prior to May 2024 late concessionary prices were not included in the data. From May 2024 the dataset has been amended to include late concessionary price updates.

Following the development of a new database, data for August 2021 onwards may show a change in quantity for some inhalers, sprays and solutions.  Where quantities were previously listed as a device, this may now show the amount of doses dispensed.

Improvements have been made to BNF chapter classifications to ensure consistency between Northern Ireland and England. Previously over 99.5% of items prescribed and dispensed in Northern Ireland had the same BNF chapter classification as England. Of the 0.5% of items that originally differed in classification, around 99.6% referred to items previously counted as Appliances (Chapter 21) being reclassified into the Eye (Chapter 11), Ear, Nose and Oropharynx (Chapter 12) and Skin (Chapter 13) chapters. Caution should therefore be exercised when comparing figures prior to October 2021 for chapters 11, 12, 13 and 21.

After examining discrepancies relating to the BNF, developments have been made to GP Prescribing data following an improved extract from the English BSA. Therefore, from September 2018 onwards, the data will show a more fully populated ‘BNF Code’ column.  Some changes to BNF Chapter and Section will have occurred as part of this process.

HED Consultation Zones ESRI REST API

Service provided by HED articulates, as guidance, zones indicating to planners on when HED should be consulted in respect of proposals in the vicinity of heritage assets. It does not articulate the setting of assets but provides a baseline to ensure that HED are consulted in respect of applications within these areas. 

Data produced from HED data and updated monthly. Data contains attribution values providing unique id for each record, layer each record is derived from and buffer value (NULL where buffer=0).
