Coal Mining Licence Areas

Upon privatisation of the coal industry in 1994 the Coal Authority was set up to take over a number of British Coal’s responsibilities; however these did not include the physical extraction of coal. It is the statutory responsibility of the Coal Authority to licence and monitor the extraction of coal by private operators. These Licence areas relate to any granted licence for the working of coal since the creation of The Coal Authority in October 1994.

Any activity which intersects, disturbs or enters any of the Coal Authority’s coal interests requires our prior written authorisation. The following activities require a Licence or Agreement from the Coal Authority:

- the mining of coal
- exploration for coal or deep drilling through coal for other purposes (e.g. water abstraction)
- underground coal gasification
- digging and carrying away of coal during non-coal mining related activities (incidental coal)
- exploration and exploitation of coal methane

SFGS Forest Plans

Description:

Forest Plans were introduced for landowners planning to carry out felling, restocking and thinning in their woodlands over a 20 year period.

The Forestry Commission (now Scottish Forestry) provided a grant to help prepare a plan (Plan Preparation Grant) and owners can claim restocking grants set at the same rate as the Woodland Grant Scheme (1999 - 2003) or Scottish Forestry Grant Scheme (2003 - 2006).

Once the plan is approved, a Forest Plan contract provides felling and restocking approval for 10 years.

Forest Plans (SFGS) were closed to new applications in December 2006.

Scotland's wildness - composite

The purpose of this data is to indicate the relative wildness across Scotland. The dataset is on a scale of 1-256 indicating relative levels of wildness. Consequently the data is best viewed at a national or regional scale. The methodology is adapted from the 2008 Wildness Study in the Cairngorms National Park. Four principal attributes identified in SNH's policy statement (Wildness in Scotlands Countryside, 2002), namely perceived naturalness of land cover, ruggedness, remoteness and the lack of built modern artefacts are mapped using GIS based techniques and a combination of readily available datasets. An index of wild land quality is then derived by combining the individual attribute layers. The attribute layers are given equal weighting.

Saltmarsh Survey of Scotland

From 2010-2012 all known saltmarshes larger than 3ha were surveyed across the Scottish mainland and offshore islands, to compile the first detailed comprehensive national survey of this habitat in Scotland. All saltmarsh and brackish swamp was mapped using the National Vegetation Classification. All mapped areas were digitised to a 1:4,000 scale GIS database. The condition of each saltmarsh site visited was assessed. The primary aims of the Scottish Saltmarsh Survey (SSS) were to obtain information on the morphology, vegetation community structure and species found on saltmarsh sites above 3ha in area or 500m in linear extent.

The survey was a joint project between Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA).The saltmarsh survey was tendered in 2009 and awarded to NatureBureau Ltd, who began work on the project in 2010.

Map of soil leaching potential (partial cover)

The map shows the risk of potential pollutants and nutrients leaching through the soil to ground and surface waters.  This map primarily covers the cultivated land in Scotland. The soil leaching potential gives information on the likelihood of a potential pollutant that is applied to the soil surface infiltrating the soil and leaching to a water course or ground water in three main categories (High, Intermediate and Low) with the High class being subdivided into 3 classes while the intermediate class is subdivided into 2 classes. Note: soils over current and restored mineral workings and in urban areas that are often disturbed or absent are assumed to have little ability to retain potential pollutants and so are classified as having a high leaching potential (see Lewis, M.A., Lilly, A and J.S. Bell. 2000. Groundwater vulnerability mapping in Scotland: Modifications to classification used in England and Wales. In: Groundwater in the Celtic Regions: Studies in Hard Rock and Quaternary Hydrogeology. Eds. N.S. Robins and B.D.R. Misstear Geological Society Special Publication No. 182. pp 71-79.).

UK Parliamentary Constituencies - Scotland

Scottish UK Parliamentary Constituencies (or Westminster Constituencies) define the electoral areas of Scotland used to return members to the Parliament of the United Kingdom in UK general elections. They are different from the Scottish Parliamentary Constituencies, which are used to return members to the Scottish Parliament. There are currently 59 Westminster constituencies in total, each electing one Member of Parliament. The Boundary Commission for Scotland is responsible for recommendations on the definition of constituency boundaries, however, the definitive dataset is delineated by Ordnance Survey for inclusion in their BoundaryLine product.

Core Paths - Scottish Borders Council

Core Paths maps for the Scottish Borders Council area have been produced to meet the requirements of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003. The Plan was adopted by the Council on  8th  December 2009.  Core paths form the basic framework of countryside paths, some on roads, linking with the wider paths network and other access provision. The core paths network as a whole should provide access opportunities for the full range of access takers, including walkers, cyclists and horse-riders, of varying abilities. Some core paths will be on surfaced paths suitable for all abilities use. In this rural area other core paths include some narrow riverside paths, rough tracks, grass paths or routes across open land woodland, forests and farmland.

Primary School Catchments 24/04/1996 - 31/12/2015 (non denominational) - Moray

Primary School Catchments 24/04/1996 - 31/12/2015 (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’.

Habitats_and_Biotopes (MapService)

This view service provides spatial data relating to Scottish wetlands. This data set has been developed by assimilating spatial data from Scottish Natural Heritage. The whole country has not yet been surveyed and as a result the data set only displays known wetlands. The wetland inventory database comprises a number of fields that include the main WFD95 wetland type, the original habitat survey information and whether the wetland polygon is within a statutory designated site. The wetland typology (WFD95) is used as the main identifying field for each polygon in the inventory database.

Generated from data supplied to SEPA by Scottish Natural Heritage. It is important to note that if there are no wetlands identified on the inventory this does not mean that there are no wetlands in that area. The inventory has been completed using available digital data for wetlands that have been surveyed. It is very likely that there are wetlands in Scotland that have not been surveyed or where the survey data is currently not available in a digital format suitable for GIS.

Geomorphology of the Cairngorm Mountains

A geomorphological assemblage map of the Cairngorm Mountains, from Glen Feshie in the west to Loch Builg in the east. The Cairngorm Mountains represent one of the finest assemblages of glacial and mountain landforms in the world, particularly noted for the diversity of features in a relatively compact area. These features incorporate a wealth of information about past environmental change and landscape evolution through periods of tropical, ice age and modern temperate climates.  This landform heritage represents a precious educational and environmental resource, one which is unusual in the wide range and quality of the features that have taken millions of years to evolve. The area has been recognised as "unquestionably of international importance, particularly for the close juxtaposition of relic landscape and of glacial erosion and deposition"  (Cairngorms Working Party, 1993, p.13 paragraph 2.1.1.3).

Mine Entry Potential Zone of Influence

A Mine Entry with Potential Zone of Influence is the area of the ground that might be affected if subsidence of the mine entry was to occur. Each mine entry has a zone of influence buffer around the mine entry calculated from the same algorithm used in producing a ‘Mine Entry Interpretive Report’. The Zone of Influence (ZOI) highlights the area on the surface that could potentially be affected in the unlikely event a collapse was to occur. The calculation takes into account the size of the mine entry entrance, the geological ‘drift’ deposits for the area and the original source from which the mine entry was captured.

The layer shows a mathematical area, which may be affected and does not attempt to take into account the varying local geological conditions that may affect this. Where the calculated ZOI is less than 20m then a default value of 20m is used.
