Tree Preservation Orders

A Tree Preservation Order is made by a Local 
Planning Authority to protect trees which make a 
significant impact on their surroundings, making it 
an offence to cut down, top, lop, uproot, wilfully 
damage or destroy a tree without the planning 
authorities permission. The data consists of 
points and polygons depending on whether it is 
individual or areas/groups of trees.

Tree Preservation Orders

This dataset shows the location of Tree Preservation Orders in the Borough of Telford and Wrekin, A Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is an Order made by Telford and Wrekin Council and can apply to a single tree, a group of trees or a woodland. A TPO may be made by a local authority if it appears expedient in the interests of amenity to make provision for the preservation of the trees. The Order gives legal protection against a tree being cut down, topped, lopped, uprooted, wilfully damaged or wilfully destroyed. It is an offence to cut down any part of a tree which is the subject of a TPO including cutting the roots, without first obtaining consent from the Local Planning Authority.

Tree Preservation Orders

Tree Preservation Orders.  These are written orders made by a local planning authority (e.g. a borough, district or unitary council or a national park authority) which 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.
The purpose of a tree preservation order is to protect trees which bring significant amenity benefit to the local area.  An order can protect anything from a single tree to all trees within a defined area or woodland. Any species can be protected, but no species is automatically protected by a tree preservation order.

S106 Agreements in HDC District

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.

Tree Preservation Orders - Woodlands

A Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is an order made by the local planning authority in respect of trees or woodlands. The principal effect of a TPO is to prohibit the: cutting down, uprooting, topping, lopping, wilful damage, or wilful destruction of trees without the LPA's consent. TPO's are served on individual trees, groups of trees or woodlands when it is deemed to be expedient in the interests of amenity. They are used to protect trees and woodlands if their removal or changes to them would have a significant impact on the local environment and its enjoyment by the public. As the Local Planning Authority Norwich City Council has powers under provisions in the 1990 Town and Country Planning Act and the Town and Country Planning (Tree Preservation)(England) Regulations 2012, to make Tree Preservation Orders. The Law requires that written consent must be given by the Local Planning Authority before any work to a protected tree is undertaken.

of trees without the LPAs consent. The cutting of roots, although not expressly covered in (1)(4) above, is potentially damaging and so, in the Secretary of States view, requires the LPAs consent.

Surface Hydrology Dataset for the Jazira Region of Syria

This surface hydrology 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.

All surface hydrology was captured for this dataset including ephemeral streams such as wadis. This dataset's attributes include stream order (0 to 6) and types (ephemeral, intermittent and permanent) and values. Settlement pattern evidence suggests that water runoff, from ephemeral and seasonal streams, could have been used to irrigate crops? Rainfall patterns in the Jazira region indicate more for higher elevations, this occurring during wetter times of the year (winter and spring).

Third Order and Higher Rivers Dataset for Archaeological Viewshed Analysis Study of Glengorm Area on the Isle of Mull, Scotland

This Third Order and Higher Rivers dataset shows all third order and higher rivers located in the Glengorm area of the Isle of Mull. This is part of a study conducted in the 1980s and 1990s which examined prehistoric ritual monument locations and their visibility across the landscape of the area. The study included the application of a GIS for viewshed analysis. 

Datasets incorporated into this study and application included soils, coast and lochs, coastline, drainage capacity of soils, land capability, rivers, elevation and slope aspects and distribution patterns of cairn, cist, duns, fort and stone sites.

Dry Year Precipitation Patterns Dataset for the Jazira Region of Syria

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.

This dataset was created to show precipitation patterns for dry years in the Jazira region; annual precipitation is measured in millimetres. The purpose of mapping was to compare precipitation and settlement patterns in the region. The northern half of the Jazira region receives adequate annual rainfall to sustain dry farming activities; during dry seasons, suitable rainfall is restricted to the northern edges of the region and in higher elevations.

Teesmouth and Cleveland coast EMS Rocky Shore Survey 2010

The purpose of this study was to re-survey six locations on the rocky shore within the Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast European Marine Site which had originally been surveyed in November 2003 in order to make an assessment of these habitats as a food resource for shorebirds. The original survey also provided data on the biotope composition and biodiversity of the site in order to inform Natural England on the status of the large shallow inlets and bays feature of the site.

Survey of the Subtidal Sediments of the Solent Maritime SAC

Emu Limited was commissioned by Natural England to carry out an acoustic and ecological survey of the subtidal zone (areas below the Mean Low Water mark) within the Solent Maritime Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The remit of the survey was to produce data and maps characterising the overall subtidal seabed surface topography, surface sediment composition and the main subtidal biotopes which fall within the Solent Maritime SAC's designated boundaries using rapid field assessment techniques with the minimal environmental impact.

Survey of Reef Habitat around Eddystone Reef, Plymouth

Detailed pilot survey carried out on the reef habitat around the Eddystone Reef off Plymouth as part of a project to identify potential SACs which are not connected to the coast. Phase 1 of the survey used acoustic methods to accurately map the extent of the rocky reef and the areas of mixed sediment around the Eddystone Lighthouse. The area of interest is approximately 10 nautical miles south west of the Plymouth sound and covers and area of about 520 sq km. Data from the acoustic and ground-truth (grab, photography and video) surveys have now been analysed and reported on and the results used to direct a second phase of survey.
