Tree Preservation Orders

Where a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is made under Section 198 of the Town and County Planning Act 1990, the tree or group of trees are identified on a location plan. Copies of the order are served on the owners of land upon which the trees are growing, and on the owner occupiers of affected and joining properties.

Once an order has been made, the consent of the council is required before a tree may be pruned or felled. In certain circumstances, it may be agreed that pruning or removal may be permitted in order to accommodate development, but the TPO enables the council to control these actions and to obtain new planting to replace trees which are removed. You can download a form to get approval to carry out pruning or felling work to trees protected by a TPO. There is no fee involved.

If a tree is cut down, uprooted or wilfully destroyed or is deliberately damaged, or pruned in a manner likely to destroy it, in contravention of a TPO, the responsible person may be prosecuted and liable to pay a substantial fine.

Soil Maps of Scotland (partial cover)

This is the digital dataset which was created by digitising the Soils of Scotland 1:25,000 Soil maps and the Soils of Scotland 1:25,000 Dyeline Masters. The Soils of Scotland 1:25,000 Soil maps were the source documents for the production of the Soils of Scotland 1:63,360 and 1:50,000 published colour map series. The soil map units are based on Soil Associations, Soil Series and Phases which reflect parent material, major soil group, and major soil sub-groups, drainage and (for phases), texture, stoniness, land use, rockiness, topography and organic matter. Phases are not always mapped. In general terms this dataset primarily covers the cultivated land of Scotland but also includes some adjacent upland areas and the Island of Mull and the Ardnamurchan peninsula. While all of the available source documents for this map series have been digitised, additional areas mapped at higher resolution for specific purposes have not been digitised. Should there be a requirement for other areas to be captured, the Internal Contact should be contacted in the first instance. Attribute definitions: The attributes on each map (coverage) are specific to that map sheet, but in general terms the following categories are mapped: soil association, soil series, parent material, soil complexes, soil phases, skeletal soils, alluvial soils, organic soils, miscellaneous soils, mixed bottom land, built-up area, quarries/disturbed ground, collieries/bings, golf courses.

Scheduled Monuments

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.

Dundee City Council Allotments

Allotments are plots of land that are rented by individuals or organisations for the purpose of growing fruit, vegetables and/or flowers.

There are several allotment sites in Dundee but not all of them are run by the council itself. DCC has four sites: Arklay Terrace, Ancrum Road, Magdalen Green and Macaulay St.  All the others are either private or devolved sites and are therefore responsible for their own charges and waiting lists so should be contacted directly.

If you wish to be placed on the waiting list for a DCC allotment plot, please email environment@dundeecity.gov.uk 

Allotment charges are currently set at £5.10 (£4.10 concession) per annum per pole (a unit of area of about 25 m2). Allotment sizes vary slightly so the total cost is different for each plot but a full size plot averages 10 poles and would therefore cost about £51 per year.

Vacant and Derelict Land - Dundee

The Scottish Vacant and Derelict Land Survey (SVDLS) is a survey undertaken to establish the extent and state of vacant and derelict land in Scotland. The survey has been operating since 1988 and is managed by the Scottish Government Communities Analytical Services. Most Councils submit data annually with the Survey base date of 31st March. The data collected provides an invaluable source of information relating to vacant and derelict sites and assists in reinforcing and justifying national policy established to bring about the re-use and regeneration of these land resources.
 
Dundee City Council conduct an annual survey where potential sites, identified in the preceding 6 months by Dundee City Council, are assessed for possible inclusion on the Scottish Vacant & Derelict Land register for that year. During the survey any site that has been redeveloped or regenerated are removed from the register and reported to Scottish Government. Scottish Government also provide Vacant & Derelict Land Funding (VDLF) to qualifying local authorities to facilitate the regeneration of land.

FGS Target Area - Clyde Climate Forest - Native Woodlands for Connectivity

This dataset identifies the target areas within the Clyde Climate Forest where a higher payment rate is available to create and manage Native Woodlands for Connectivity.

Native Woodlands provide essential ecosystem services and wildlife habitats. Creating connected woodland networks will help to reverse habitat fragmentation, protect biodiversity, and offer migratory routes north for wildlife as the climate changes.

In the Forestry Grant Scheme (FGS), woodlands for connectivity are those that are planted and managed in a way that maximises their benefit to biodiversity conservation and habitat connectivity.  Woodlands for connectivity may be on smaller parcels of land, integrating with the farm business or building upon existing remnants of native woodland.  Having these well designed and managed woodlands on your land can generate income, complement agricultural activities and make a lasting contribution to local biodiversity conservation and climate change resilience.

The higher payment rate is available for the following FGS Woodland Creation options: Native scots pine, Native upland birch, Native broadleaves, Native low-density broadleaves.  It is available for initial planting and annual maintenance payments in the specified target areas.  If 50 per cent or more of the eligible option(s) area is within the target area, then the whole eligible option(s) will receive the higher payment rate.  If less than 50 per cent of the eligible option(s) area is within the target area then the higher payment rate will not be applied.  Capital items within the target areas such as fences and gates remain at the standard payment rates.

To benefit connectivity and secure multiple benefits, any woodland creation should be:  Larger than 0.25 ha and with an average width greater than 15 m; Capable of establishing with little and infrequent input of fertilisers and pesticides;  Capable of generating a good canopy and root system;  Well-structured and diverse, using species that are likely to deliver multiple benefits;  Using the least intensive cultivation methods possible to minimise soil disturbance.

Primary School Catchments 01/01/2016 - 13/08/2017 (non denominational) - Moray

Primary School Catchments 01/01/2016 - 13/08/2017 (Moray) (non denominational)

In Moray, the education authority discharges its duty to secure adequate and efficient education for the local authority area by operating a “catchment area” system to enable parents/carers to comply with their duty to provide efficient education for their child(ren).  The zones (catchment areas) are shown as delineated areas on maps.  Information on these catchment areas is available at the Moray Council website. Most parents of children living within the catchment area will choose for their children to attend the designated primary and secondary school for their catchment area. If a parent wishes their child to be enrolled at a school which is not the designated catchment area school for their postal address, they must make an out-of-zone ‘placing request’.

NatureScot Peatland ACTION WMS

Peatland ACTION is a national programme to restore peatlands across Scotland.
It is led and funded by Scottish Government and delivered in partnership with NatureScot, Cairngorms National Park Authority, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Authority, Scottish Water, and Forestry & Land Scotland.  
In February 2020, the Scottish Government announced a substantial, multi-annual investment in peatland restoration of more than £250 million up to 2030. Restoring peatlands is one of the most effective ways of locking in carbon; offering a clear nature-based solution to both the climate crisis and biodiversity loss.

Peatland restoration plays a key role in Scotland’s green recovery and is helping deliver a just transition to net-zero by supporting the rural economy through the creation and development of land-based jobs and skills across Scotland.

This service provide information about the progress of restoration activities in Scotland.

Past Shallow Coal Mine Workings

Past shallow coal mine workings are derived from the Coal Authority’s records of underground coal mine workings. This dataset has been created by extracting all those underground workings, or parts thereof, whose depth is 30 metres or less from the surface. Shallow workings do not have sufficient overlying strata therefore any movement has the potential to reach the surface and cause damage; approx 50% of the accepted surface hazards are related to shallow workings, both recorded and unrecorded.
