Climate Change Agreements

Details of current or terminated Climate Change Agreements (CCA) for the UK under the Climate Change Agreements (Administration Facilities) Regulations 2012. The Climate Change Agreement scheme has 51 sectors of various business types. Each sector has its own umbrella agreement which sets out improvement targets for each sector. A sub-sector is a practical method of partitioning within a sector such that the target units (Operators) in each sub-sector carry out the same or similar processes and/or have either all energy targets or all carbon targets. A trade association or other body may represent a sector of industry. Some sectors have set up (or plan to set up) subsidiary or separate organisations to represent them in the agreements. This sector/trade association will look after the management of all the operators which fall within their sector. For example a supermarket chain would be the Operator, each store which is eligible to be in the scheme would be a facility and all the facilities together would form a target unit. A target unit can just hold one facility or it may be a multi-facility target unit. The target unit holds an underlying agreement which sets out the targets that the target unit must meet. Eligibility to hold a CCA depends on the operator carrying out a listed ‘eligible process’. The CCA scheme runs from 1 April 2013 to 31 March 2023. Industrial operators that enter into and abide by the terms and conditions of their CCA are entitled to a discount on the Climate Change Levy (CCL), a tax added to electricity and fuel bills to encourage operators to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide they emit. Operators holding CCAs must monitor and report their energy consumption against agreed targets across four two-year target periods – each covering two calendar years – running from 2013 to 2020. At the end of each target period, operators meeting their targets will be certified to continue to receive the CCL discount. CCAs are voluntary agreements containing targets to increase energy efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Facility and Target Unit addresses for 6 specific sectors are not released, for National Security/Site Security reasons. The sectors are NFU1 (Pigs), NFU5 (Eggs & Poultry Meat), BMPA (Meat), BPC1 (Poultry Meat), BPC2 (Poultry Meat Processing and Feed and DATC (Data Centres). Energy efficiency improvements and emission reductions data may not be included for some sites where a case for commercial confidentiality has been accepted.

Bathing Water

The Environment Agency collects water quality data each year from May to September, to ensure that designated bathing water sites on the coast and inland are safe and clean for swimming and other activities. This data is provided through an Application Programming Interface (API) as a data service and is reusable and accessible to developers and to members of the public. It is published as linked data but also available in other forms including CSV and JSON. See API and data model documentation for detail plus access to data dumps and data slices. The data service entry point is http://environment.data.gov.uk/bwq/index.html. Attribution statement: © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2016. All rights reserved.

Anglian Coastal Monitoring Programme Habitat Data 2011

The data consist of shapefiles that contain habitat information on the Anglian coastline. When loaded into GIS software, the data is displayed on a map where each segment of land is categorised into a habitat type.  The basic methodology used to create the dataset was a process of classification through the interpretation of aerial photography and other Environment Agency data.

TPO Single Trees

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>Bradford Council maintains 2 separate data sources for its recording and management of Tree Preservation Orders (TPO), Single_Tree_Inspire and Groups_Areas_Woodlands. Both datasets must be used in conjunction to provide a comprehensive dataset of TPO within its boundary. Users of this dataset must be aware that this is NOT the definitive dataset and reveals only Confirmed Orders. Any and all queries with regard to TPOs should be directed to Bradford Council’s Planning Department. In 2002 Bradford Council carried out a data capture exercise to digitise its paper (map based) records of its TPOs, since then it has created and managed its TPO records via ESRI’s desktop products and the IDOX Uniform TPO Module. A tree preservation order is a written order made by a local planning authority (e.g. a borough, district or unitary council or a national park authority) which, in general, makes it an offence to cut down, top, lop, uproot, wilfully damage or wilfully destroy a tree protected by that order without the authority’s permission.</span></p></div></div></div>

It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a building, from a furnace or from any fixed boiler if located in a designated smoke control area. It is also an offence to acquire an "unauthorised fuel" for use within a smoke control area unless it is used in an "exempt" appliance ("exempted" from the controls which generally apply in the smoke control area).</span></p></div></div></div>
