ENPA Section 3 Moor and Heath

Section 3 of the Wildlife and Countryside (Amendment) Act 1985 requires the National Park Authority (NPA) to prepare a map of any areas of mountain, moor, heath, woodland, down, cliff or foreshore (including any bank, barrier, dune, beach, flat or other land adjacent to the foreshore), whose natural beauty it is, in the opinion of the NPA, particularly important to conserve.

Moor

An area of acid soil with a peaty surface horizon of variable depth, bearing plant communities typical of bog or moss formations, or acid grassland in which ericaceous species are not abundant but bracken may be present as an invasive species.

Heath

Areas where trees or tall shrubs are sparse or absent and in which the dominant life form is that of the evergreen dwarf shrub particularly represented in Ericaceae.

This data though was surveyed in 1990

FRAME (Fine Resolution Atmospheric Multi-pollutant Exchange)

The FRAME model calculates the deposition of sulphur and nitrogen at both standard (5 km) and high (1 km) resolution across the UK. The results are used to calculate the exceedance of critical loads for future emissions scenarios. The model is also used to calculate the exceedance of the critical level for ammonia concentrations and to generate source-receptor matrices of secondary inorganic aerosol concentrations and deposition for use in the UK Integrated Assessment Model. Other uses include the deposition and concentration of base cations and heavy metals.

Green Wedges

Green Wedges comprise the open areas around, and between, parts of settlements which maintain the distinction between the countryside and built-up areas, prevent the coalescence of adjacent places and can also provide recreational opportunities.

Green Wedges are an urban containment mechanism intended to restrict the spread of built development beyond prescribed settlement boundaries and allocated sites. The designation, which unlike Green Belts*, is a non-statutory one, does however add an additional layer of protection to those areas where it is considered that development pressure exists or will exist during the lifetime of a local development plan.  

*Wales currently has only one formally designated green belt area which is located between Newport and Cardiff.

2013 Natural England Verification Survey of Cumbria Coast

A Natural England commissoined verification survey of both intertidal sediments and intertidal rocky reef within the Cumbria Coast rMCZ. Phase I Biotope mapping was carried out across the rMCZ for broad scale habitats. Phase II infaunal sediment sampling was carried out to provide information on the benthic infaunal assemblages and particle size distribution of the study sites by means of core sampling. Sediment surface scrapes were obtained for heavy metals and organic contaminants analysis. Phase II quantitative survey of intertidal rocky reefs comprised of a quadrat survey with percentage cover of species present within each quadrat being recorded. The data was used to produce a EUNIS Level 3 boradscale habitat map of the Cumbria Coast rMCZ. Aerial imagery and OS mapping was digitised to produce baseline maps of biotope boundaries. The maps were annotated in the field to identify biotopes and boundaries as well as significant features. In addition, intertidal sediment cores were taken at 16 stations (0.01m2 cores 3 replicates at each station) distributed throughout the Cumbria Coast rMCZ at the low, mid and high shore, in order to assess the benthic species present, along with an additional sample for Particle Size Analysis. Samples were sieved over a 0.5mm sieve. Sediment scrape samples were also taken at 4 stations at the midshore for Tributyl tin, heavy metal and organic contaminant analysis. The Phase II quantitative survey of intertidal rocky reefs comprised of 9 quadrat sites per transect with 3 replicate quadrats at each low, mid and upper shore zone or the main biotope present. Percentage cover of species present within each 0.25m2 quadrat was recorded. The methods used for data collection and processing followed protocols and standards for biotope mapping and sampling.

Wandsworth Locally Listed Buildings

Many councils, including Wandsworth maintain a list of locally listed buildings as separate to the statutory list (and in addition to it). There is no statutory protection of a building or object on the local list but many receive a degree of protection from loss through being in a Conservation Area and/or through planning policy. Councils hope that owners will recognise the merits of their properties and keep them unaltered if at all possible.

Individual Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) within Brecon Beacons National Park. 

Please note that the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority are in the final stages of reviewing all of the Tree Preservation orders, and this will NOT be reflected in the dataset until the reviewed TPOs are formally adopted (end of Phase 3). 

A desktop review of the TPO files was carried out at the end of 2013 (phase 1), from which 37 TPO’s were identified as requiring a follow up site visit (phase 2).  

Phase 2 was successfully undertaken and completed in late 2014 / early 2015, and identified that the majority of the 37 TPO’s from phase 1 should be re-made as new, smaller TPO’s and the old files revoked.  

Phase 3 is the final stage of the TPO review and it is estimated that approximately 40 new TPO’s will be created. Once formally adopted, the GIS dataset will be updated and published on data.gov.uk.

Population Density Dataset for the Jazira Region of Syria

This population dataset complements 13 other datasets as part of a study that compared ancient settlement patterns with modern environmental conditions in the Jazira region of Syria.

This study examined settlement distribution and density patterns over the past five millennia using archaeological survey reports and French 1930s 1:200,000 scale maps to locate and map archaeological sites. An archaeological site dataset was created and compared to and modelled with soil, geology, terrain (contour), surface and subsurface hydrology and normal and dry year precipitation pattern datasets; there are also three spreadsheet datasets providing 1963 precipitation and temperature readings collected at three locations in the region. The environmental datasets were created to account for ancient and modern population subsistence activities, which comprise barley and wheat farming and livestock grazing.

These environmental datasets were subsequently modelled with the archaeological site dataset, as well as, land use and population density datasets for the Jazira region. Ancient trade routes were also mapped and factored into the model, and a comparison was made to ascertain if there was a correlation between ancient and modern settlement patterns and environmental conditions; the latter influencing subsistence activities.

Creation of this population dataset, derived from a 1961 census, was created to compare modern population density patterns with the distribution of ancient settlement patterns to ascertain if patterns are shared. There is a similarity between these patterns with higher concentrations of settlements and population along the banks of rivers until reaching the northern area of the Jazira where both extend across the wider landscape and away from rivers.
