NFNPA Tree Preservation Orders

A Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is an order made by a 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 New Forest National Park Authority (NFNPA) 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 (NFNPA) before any work to a protected tree is undertaken.

Normal Year Precipitation Patterns Dataset for the Jazira Region of Syria

This Normal Year Precipitation Patterns 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.

This dataset was created to show precipitation patterns for normal 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.

Teignbridge DNP Boundary

Dartmoor is an area of moorland in south Devon, England. Protected by National Park status as Dartmoor National Park, it covers 954 square kilometres (368 sq mi).
            The granite upland dates from the Carboniferous period of geological history. The moorland is capped with many exposed granite hilltops known as tors, providing habitats for Dartmoor wildlife. The highest point is High Willhays, 621 m (2,037 ft) above sea level. The entire area is rich in antiquities and archaeology.
            Dartmoor is managed by the Dartmoor National Park Authority whose 22 members are drawn from Devon County Council, local district councils and Government.
            Parts of Dartmoor have been used as military firing ranges for over 200 years. The public enjoy extensive access rights to Dartmoor (including restricted access to the firing ranges) and it is a popular tourist destination. The organisation responsible for tourism on Dartmoor is the Dartmoor Partnership.

Development around the Coast

Outside Settlement Boundaries and service villages, the character of the District's coast, small coastal villages and hamlets should be protected and enhanced. Development in close proximity to the sea suffers physical damage caused by wave and wind borne sand, grit and shingle and chemical degradation of materials from saltwater and spray. The Council will generally recommend a minimum of 25 metres setback in particularly exposed coastal locations to safeguard dwellings and residents.

Devon Character Areas

Devon Character Areas are areas of landscape in Devon that people recognise as distinct from others with a unique identity. They form one of the tiers of information within Devon's landscape character assessments. They replace the Devon Landscape Character Zones referred to in Devon Structure Plan policy CO1. 68 Devon Character Areas were identified as the third and final stage of Devon's landscape character assessment programme. They were defined by grouping together generic Landscape Character Types as far as possible, and their names and boundaries were tested through a consultation programme in 2011. Each Devon Character Area has a written profile including descriptions, evaluations, an overall landscape strategy and guidelines formulated through consultation with key stakeholders and using the results of a public survey. Landscape character assessments form part of the evidence base for local plans and provide guidance to help help balance the need for sustainable development with the need to sustain and enhance the distinctive character and special qualities and features of Devon's landscape.

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-Hasakah, 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.

Digital Chart of the World (DCW) data for the United Kingdom (UK)

This version of The Digital Chart of the World (DCW) is an Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI) product originally developed for the US Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) using DMA data. This data was downloaded from the Penn State web site and then converted to Shapefile format using ArcMap.

This dataset is derived from the Vector Map (VMap) Level 0 database; the third edition of the Digital Chart of the World. The second edition was a limited release item published 1995 09. The product is dual named to show its lineage to the original DCW, published in 1992, while positioning the revised product within a broader emerging-family of VMap products.

VMap Level 0 is a comprehensive 1:1,000,000 scale vector basemap of the world. It consists of cartographic, attribute, and textual data stored on compact disc read only memory (CD-ROM). The primary source for the database is the National Imagery and Mapping Agency's (NIMA) Operational Navigation Chart (ONC) series. This is the largest scale unclassified map series in existence that provides consistent, continuous global coverage of essential basemap features. The database contains more than 1,900 megabytes of vector data and is organized into 10 thematic layers. The data includes major road and rail networks, major hydrological drainage systems, major utility networks (cross-country pipelines and communication lines), all major airports, elevation contours (1000 foot (ft), with 500ft and 250ft supplemental contours), coastlines, international boundaries and populated places.

Public Rights of Way

The Digitised Public Rights of Way data layer shows the locations of registered public rights of way in Nottinghamshire.

It is derived from the paper sources that comprise the Definitive Map and Statement for Nottinghamshire, a legal document first drawn up in the 1950's, which the County Council has a statutory duty to keep under continuous review.  The Definitive Map is conclusive evidence of the public rights shown, without prejudice to the possible existence of higher rights.  However, if a way is not registered on the Definitive Map, it does not prove that public rights do not exist.  The data is dynamic and legal processes exist so that ways may be extinguished, diverted or added to the map.  In addition, the digital data is also being checked to ensure its accuracy, leading to continuous amendments being made.  

A public right of way is a way over which all members of the public have a right to pass and repass.  They are public highways and comprise:

Footpaths (a right of way on foot);

Bridleways (a right of way on horseback, or to lead a horse, or to drive animals of any description and may also be used by members of the public on pedal cycles);

Byways Open to All Traffic (a public carriageway, though mainly used as a footpath or bridleway);

Restricted Byways (similar to a Byway Open to All Traffic, but with the public carriageway rights limited to those vehicles which are not mechanically propelled).

It must be remembered that the original Definitive Map was drawn on Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 scale base maps.  The subsequent working copy maps are drawn on Ordnance Survey 1:10,000 maps.  It is in many cases difficult (if not impossible) to give a precise alignment without a good deal of interpretation and expertise.  Even if you believe you are in no doubt, you should check the situation with the Definitive Map team.  Please also see also the terms of use below.

Waste treatment and storage

This gives indicative boundaries of the waste management sites known to the County Council. It is intended to assist in the implementation of Policy WCS 16 of the Waste Core Strategy but is not and does not purport to be an official record of all waste management sites in the County. In particular, it does not replace the information held on the planning register.
For detailed information about individual sites and site boundaries relevant planning permissions should be referred to. However, a small proportion of waste management sites in the County does not have express planning permission and instead has established/lawful use rights. Where this is the case site history should be considered both as to the nature and extent of such rights and in defining the boundary.

VOA Non domestic rating - Receipts/expenditure and costs of construction

Non-Domestic Rating data, including receipts/expenditure and costs of construction. Property attribute and transactions data underpin the information base necessary for the VOA to value properties correctly for property tax (Non-Domestic Rates and Council Tax) and for valuation work carried out for other public sector clients (e.g. Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax). By statute non-domestic properties are revalued every 5 years and then appeals and material changes of circumstances are dealt with thereafter.  There is no single source of information and the valuation process involves bringing together various data sources. However the Form of Return is a key compenent to allow VOA to establish a fair market rent for properties, which is the basis of rating assessments. Updated: Every 5 years, in advance of a revaluation
