ENPA Conservation Area

Conservation areas are defined as being of

"special architectural or historic interest the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance."

Within Exmoor National Park there are 16 Conservation Areas and these tend to be whole settlements. It is generally easy for residents and visitors to feel that a place is special and they are pleased that it has been designated as a conservation area, but a conservation area appraisal is needed to define the exact elements that make the area special. Conservation Area Appraisals take into account views from within the area looking out and views from outside looking in. Groupings of houses, their form and prominence, the spaces between them and their different styles are all considered when producing the appraisal. Features within the Conservation Area such as bridges, trees, boundary walls and rivers are all important in giving an area its character.

Agricultural Land Classification detailed Post 1988 survey ALCB20588

Post 1988 Agricultural Land Classification (ALC) site survey data – scanned original paper maps and survey reports for individual sites surveyed in detail between 1989 and 1999 by the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food. Where Grade 3 is mapped this includes the subdivision of Grade 3 into subgrades 3a and 3b. Surveys use the current grading methodology as described in "Agricultural Land Classification of England and Wales.  Revised guidelines and criteria for grading the quality of agricultural land (MAFF, 1988)":http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20130402151656/http:/archive.defra.gov.uk/foodfarm/landmanage/land-use/documents/alc-guidelines-1988.pdf. Individual sites have been mapped at varying scales and level of detail from 1:5,000 to 1:50,000 (typically 1:10,000). Unedited sample point soils data and soil pit descriptions are also available for some surveys.

Section 106 sites

Planning obligations under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended), commonly known as s106 agreements, are a mechanism which make a development proposal acceptable in planning terms, that would not otherwise be acceptable. They are focused on site specific mitigation of the impact of development. S106 agreements are often referred to as 'developer contributions' along with highway contributions and the Community Infrastructure Levy.
The common uses of planning obligations are to secure affordable housing, and to specify the type and timing of this housing; and to secure financial contributions to provide infrastructure or affordable housing.  A s106 obligation can also:
- restrict the development or use of the land in any specified way 
- require specified operations or activities to be carried out in, on, under or over the land 
- require the land to be used in any specified way; or 
- require a sum or sums to be paid to the authority (or, to the Greater London Authority) on a specified date or dates or periodically. Data is available via the link below, to access the CSV file for this data please click on the arrow next to the data source, and click ‘Download’

Precipitation and Temperature monthly values (1963) for al Qamishli, Syria

This temperature and precipitation dataset in csv format 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.

These temperature and precipitation data were transferred to and processed in a spreadsheet to generate bar graph to display evapotranspiration (ETP) rate for al-Qamishli, Syria. Purpose was to show differences in evapotranspiration rates between the south, middle and north of the Jazira; higher ETP rates occur in the south near Dayr az-Zawr, Syria.

NSI Profile (raw)

The National Soil Inventory (NSI) profile data is a spatial, point dataset with 6127 points, located in a 5km grid across England and Wales. NSI profile provides a very detailed description of the soil profile at the NSI point. From the texture of the soil to the mottle size and colour, many observations are recorded within this fundamental dataset. Because of the detail of this survey, it is easy to get a good understanding of the soils at the NSI points. Combining
this data with chemical NSI data from the NSI topsoil datasets may reveal otherwise hidden trends in the soils of England and Wales.

Lower Fal Ruan estuary benthic biotope map

The survey of the marine environment of Falmouth Bay and the lower Fal Ruan Estuary was undertaken as part of the BioMar Project which is funded by the European Community through the LIFE Programme. In July 1994 a baseline survey was done to map the distribution of dead and living maerl. The survey was done using a RoxAnn acoustic system supported by direct observation of the seabed using a drop-down video camera and sediment samples collected by grab. Maps of bathymetry and predicted distribution of biotopes were prepared using GIS.

CORONA Satellite Image of Area from Sennybridge to Talgarth, Wales

This image file (DS1104-1043DF002_2c.tif) was initially captured during the CORONA J-1, KH-4a reconnaissance missions and represents one of four image frames associated with a single swath which provides a nominal ground coverage of 17 x 232 km. This CORONA image’s ground coverage is approximately 17 x 38 km. This is attributed to cropping about one-third (20 km) of the image’s eastern extent due to 100 percent cloud cover. This in turn reduces this dataset’s file size. Approximately 20 to 30 percent of this image contains significant cloud cover.

Other image files associated with this swath includes DS1104-1043DF002_2a.tif, DS1104-1043DF002_2cb.tif and DS1104-1043DF002_2d.tif

The satellite captured this CORONA image on 10 August 1968. The image extends across an area of Wales which includes the Town of Talgarth to the east and the Town of Sennybridge to the west. The Town of Brecon, and parts of the River Usk and Brecon Beacons National Park fall within this image’s area. 

This dataset was downloaded from Earth Explorer for the purpose of comparing changes to land use patterns between the years 1968 and 2011.

Fforest Fawr Geopark boundary

The Fforest Fawr Geopark is set within the Brecon Beacons National Park in south Wales. It comprises the western half of the National Park, stretching from Llandovery in the north to the edge of Merthyr Tydfil in the south, from Llandeilo in the west to Brecon in the east. 

Fforest Fawr (the name translates as ‘Great Forest’ in English) is a swathe of upland country which was included within the National Park when it was designated in 1957. These uplands lie at the heart of Fforest Fawr Geopark, itself established in 2005, although it extends beyond them to include much surrounding countryside. In fact the Geopark’s 300 square miles / 763 km2 include mountain and moorland, woods and meadows, towns and villages, lakes and rivers and a great deal more besides.

A part of the European Geoparks Network for 10 years, Fforest Fawr Geopark is now also one of the 120 members of the UNESCO Global Geoparks Network, formally established on 17 November 2015.

ENPA BAP Blanket Bog

Blanket bogs are characterised by plants that thrive on waterlogged, acid peats such as bogmosses,  cottongrasses and deer sedge. They occur on deep peats on the moorland plateau,  generally at altitudes of at least 400 metres. In addition to high quality blanket bog of the type described above, this Plan also includes degraded blanket bog which has become dominated by purple moor-grass, but which still retains some blanket bog species.

Because blanket bog requires very wet conditions, it is concentrated in the south-western part of the National Park, where the prevailing winds result in the highest rainfall levels.

Conservation Areas

Conservation Areas are areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance'. These areas often contain "Listed Buildings" which are included in the Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. However, it is not always enough to protect these buildings in isolation. Their surroundings and general environment are often of equal importance and Conservation Areas are intended to protect that environment. The Local Planning Authority has a responsibility to ensure that the character of these areas is not diminished in our lifetime.
