Chestnut Survey GB 10K Grid 2013

Stands surveyed to determine whether Chestnut blight (Cryphonectria parasitica) and/or Chestnut gall wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus) are present in 17 forest stands of Sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa) located across seven forest districts in England a Wales.  There are no comercial stands of chestnut in Scotland 
The EU Plant Health Directive was amended in 2005 to recognise a new protected zone within the Community in respect of Cryphonectria parasitica, the cause of Sweet Chestnut blight (Commission Directive 2005/18/EC of 2nd March 2005). At the same time it was decided to set up a monitoring programme for Dryocosmus kuriphilus, the oriental chestnut gall wasp (Commission Decision 2006/464/EC); which is considered as a likely plant health risk.
These changes to the EU Plant Health Directive will impact on movements of wood and bark of Castanea sativa (Sweet Chestnut) within the EU Member states, unless they have been granted Protected Zone (PZ) status. This is in response to a gradual spread of C. parasitica in continental Europe and pressure on the EU to change the status of this disease. The Directive recognises the UK (including the Channel Islands but not the Isle of Man) as one of the Protected Zones. As a result, plant passporting controls throughout the EU will, from 15th May, be confined to plants for planting; with plant passport controls applying to wood (unless stripped of bark) and isolated bark moving into and within the protected zones. In order to maintain our PZ status, and controls on movements of wood and bark of C. sativa, we are obliged to carry out annual surveys to demonstrate continued freedom from this disease.
No surveyed trees showed symptoms of Chestnut blight or Chestnut gall wasp.

2022-2024 FISP: Ecosystem Benefits of UK Oyster Aquaculture Sites Mumbles 2023 Sediment Sampling Survey

As part of the Fisheries Industry Science Partnerships (FISP) project Ecosystem Benefits of UK Oyster Aquaculture Sites, project partners Tethys Oysters Ltd., Atlantic Edge Oysters Ltd., Envision Marine Ltd. and the University of Essex have collaborated in a research project to determine ecosystem benefits provided by oyster aquaculture by measuring biodiversity and denitrification activity at a variety of sites in England and Wales. Surveys were undertaken by ENVISION in 2023 to measure the biodiversity associated with three oyster farms and one naturalised rock oyster reef in comparison to control sites with similar environmental conditions, as well as ecosystem function (nitrification/denitrification activity) at these sites. Recognising the importance of conservation and restoration of native oyster populations, surveys were also carried out in 2022 and 2023 to measure oyster abundance and associated biodiversity at an historic native oyster site, commercially restocked with native oysters in 2021. Survey works included recording of underwater imagery, sediment sampling, oyster dredging and ecosystem function sampling. Underwater camera systems were used to record the diversity of biota around the oysters during submersion. Sediment samples were taken for measurement of diversity of macrofauna, particle size distribution and total organic carbon, and the ecosystem function testing involved sampling of sediment and swabs of oysters/hard surfaces to determine the abundance and activity of denitrifying/nitrifying microorganisms on oyster site substrates, through genomic analysis. The results of the denitrification and biodiversity services provided by oyster aquaculture were communicated to consumers, industry and decision makers to increase understanding and promote awareness of the ecosystem benefits provided by aquaculture.

Mortgages cases received and disposed

The number of mortgage cases received and disposed in the High Court. Datasets are produced on an annual year basis. The dataset is entered onto ICOS, the Integrated Courts Operations System. The data are then extracted and merged with the Central Postcode Directory, and aggregated information uploaded to this portal. 

Northern Ireland Courts and Tribunals Service collects information on writs and originating summonses issued in respect of mortgages in Chancery Division of the Northern Ireland High Court. This covers both Northern Ireland Housing Executive and private mortgages, and relates to both domestic and commercial properties. 

A mortgage case may involve more than one address or a land property. In such cases, the first postcode address entered onto ICOS is used. Not all writs and originating summonses lead to eviction. A plaintiff begins an action for an order for possession of property. The court, following a judicial hearing, may grant an order for possession. This entitles the plaintiff to apply for an order to have the defendant evicted. However, even where an order for eviction is issued the parties can still negotiate a compromise to prevent eviction. 

Users of this data may have been able to self-identify themselves due to the low values in some cells. Primary and secondary disclosure control methods have been applied to this data, denoted by cells with missing data in the tables. Values of less than four participants, but not zero participants, were initially suppressed, but some of these values could have been calculated using some row and column totals and thus secondary suppression was applied to the next lowest value in the row and column.

The data contain the number of cases received and the number of cases disposed by each Health and Social Care Trust and have the following proportions of postcode coverage: 2007, 94.7%; 2008, 96.1%; 2009, 98.0%; 2010, 97.9%, 2011, 97.3%; 2012, 97.2%; 2013, 95.9%; 2014, 96.0%; 2015, 94.5%; 2016, 95.4%; 2017, 95.2%; 2018, 94.5%; 2019, 95.5%; 2020, 96.7%; 2021, 95.7%; 2022, 95.6%; 2023 95.2%, 2024, 95.8%.

Road Noise - All Metrics - England Round 4

Data indicating the level of noise according to the strategic noise mapping of road sources across England.

- The day-evening-night level (Lden) is a noise indicator for overall annoyance based upon annual average A-weighted long-term sound over 24 hours with a 5 dB(A) penalty for evening noise (19:00-23:00) and a 10 dB(A) penalty for night-time noise (23:00-07:00).
- The 16-hour equivalent continuous level (LAeq,16h) is a noise indicator which describes the annual average steady noise level over the 16-hour daytime period (07:00 to 23:00) which contains the same sound energy as the actual fluctuating sound across the same period.
- The day level (Lday) is a daytime noise indicator based upon annual average A-weighted long-term sound over the daytime period (07:00-19:00) which contains the same sound energy as the actual fluctuating sound across the same period.
- The evening level (Leve) is an evening noise indicator based upon annual average A-weighted long-term sound over the evening period (19:00-23:00) which contains the same sound energy as the actual fluctuating sound across the same period.
- The night level (Lnight) is a night-time noise indicator based upon annual average A-weighted long-term sound over the night period (23:00-07:00) which contains the same sound energy as the actual fluctuating sound across the same period.

Noise levels are modelled on a 10m grid at a receptor height of 4m above ground, with a lower threshold cutoff of 35dB for the Lnight metrics, and 40dB for all other metrics. Data is available for all road traffic sources and also those defined as "major" under the Regulations.

This data is a product of the strategic noise mapping analysis undertaken in 2022 to meet the requirements of the Environmental Noise (England) Regulations 2006 (as amended).
