NCEA Analysis Ready Data (ARD) Limitations Statement, December 2025

Key information and data limitations for Analysis Ready Data (ARD) being published by Defra’s Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment (NCEA) programme in December 2025. Users should ensure they have read this ARD Limitations Statement and the supporting documentation provided with each catalog/data-sets before viewing or making use of the data.

The NCEA programme is delivering a nationwide survey of England’s land, freshwater assets and coast, mapping the location, extent, and condition of our ecosystems.  It is a Defra-led programme, working in partnership with 5 of its arms-length bodies: the Environment Agency (EA), Forest Research (FR), Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC), Natural England (NE) and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (RBG Kew).
NCEA is transforming environmental decision making in England through generating a ‘whole system’ picture of the state of our natural environment. Data is collected from a stratified random sample of locations to provide a representative and unbiased view of England’s natural capital assets over a multi-year survey. The full survey must be completed for the catalog/data-sets to be fully representative and suitable for its intended purpose. The NCEA programme is currently publishing data collected from the preparation year (2022/23) and first full year of data collection (2023/24) ). It will publish data collected in 24/25 and 25/26 next financial year and then publish annually the data collected in the previous year until the programme closes in 2028/29.

Workforce Management Information - Department for Transport

Monthly management information on staff numbers and paybill costs in Civil Service departments, their agencies and their executive NDPBs.
For workforce numbers, both payroll and non-payroll (contingent labour, including consultants) information is provided, split between full-time equivalents (FTE) and headcount, with payroll staff numbers mapped to standard Civil Service grades.
For costs, payroll paybill information is broken down into its component parts i.e. salaries, allowances, employers pensions contributions etc. For non-payroll costs, these are split between costs for consultancy and those of other non-payroll workers.
Staffing numbers are as at the last day of the month for the reference month. Cost information is that for the reference month. For baseline 2010/11 returns, staffing numbers are as at 31 March 2011, and paybill costs are for the financial year 2010/11.

1. These figures are not Official Statistics. They are internal workforce management information published in the interests of transparency.
2. These figures have not been reconciled centrally with any National Statistics. Where differences appear between the monthly information and National Statistics, clarifying comments are provided. 
3. The ONS quarterly public sector employment survey continues to provide an official headline measure for comparing the overall size of employment in central government organisations with other sectors of the economy at the relevant quarterly reference point.
4. Given the wide range of organisations covered, caution should be exercised when drawing inferences from the figures and care should be taken when making comparisons between organisations. Users of this management information should refer to any additional commentary and notes where these are provided.

Scottish Water Reported Overflow Event Data to SEPA 2021 - 2025 & Summary Version 1 published 11/05/26

This overflow event data set is the Scottish Water (SW) reported annual overflow event submissions to the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) for the last 5 calendar years (2021-2025) for all overflows with annual reporting requirements in their Environment  Authorisations  (Scotland) Regulations (EASR) discharge permits.

Only assets/overflows with annual reporting requirements in their permits are included on the annual returns.  Therefore, this only includes the overflow data for a small subset of Scottish Water overflows and the number of overflows included on the annual returns to SEPA may vary between years due to permit reporting requirements.

The data file provided contains the reported overflow event data submitted to SEPA for the last 5 calendar years (2021-2025).  This includes the overflow asset, measurement point and licence information as well as the start/stop time (dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss), duration ([h]:mm:ss] and volume (m3) for each discrete overflow event greater than 15 minutes 30 seconds.

The measurement points in this data are those that are known to require reporting to SEPA as part of the annual regulatory return.

The data file also contains summary annual overflow event data at a measurement point level. This includes: Total number, duration and volume (if required)  of overflow events for each year and additional information such as Type of Overflow, Bathing Season Only Reporting, Asset Postcode, Local Authority Area, X&Y (Easting & Northings) co-ordinates and Discharge Receiving Water.

To enhance traceability, a Version History tab has been added to the data, allowing for high-level tracking of changes along with a summary of the reasons for those changes.

Ammonia concentrations from high-elevation Himalayan forests and a Sri Lankan tropical forest, 2022-2024

The dataset contains field measurements of atmospheric ammonia under forest canopies in the Himalayas in India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bhutan and in a tropical forest in Sri Lanka between 2022 and 2024. Monthly mean atmospheric ammonia concentrations are provided from 33 sites across the five countries. This dataset provides the first ever empirical measurements of ammonia from South Asian forests and can be used to estimate ecological impact, inform policy decisions, validate atmospheric chemistry transport models and satellite data and design future air quality and ecological monitoring in the region. The ammonia concentration data was collected monthly by deploying passive citric acid-coated samplers at the study locations. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/9c4aee69-3693-4f18-97c8-ff740045f3de

Landscape Character Assessment 2019

Landscape Character Assessment (LCA) is the recognised analytical technique which identifies areas with a distinct composition of inter-related physical, cultural, historical and perceptual characteristics. The first national programme of LCAs was initiated by SNH in the 1990s, and produced 29 reports with relevant local authorities and other organisations.

This dataset has been reviewed to take account of intervening technical improvements in website mapping to produce a revised national suite of landscape character types. This is at 1:50,000 scale and has been created in collaboration and consultation with FCS and HES as well as all local authorities.
