Traditional Orchards

This is a spatial dataset contain the location of Traditional Orchards sites around Wales. Traditional orchards are listed as a UK BAP priority habitats, which are those habitats that were identified as being the most threatened and requiring conservation action under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan (UK BAP). Traditional orchards are structurally and ecologically similar to wood-pasture and parkland, with open-grown trees set in herbaceous vegetation, but are generally distinguished from these priority habitat complexes by the following characteristics: the species composition of the trees, these being primarily in the family Rosaceae; the usually denser arrangement of the trees; the small scale of individual habitat patches; the wider dispersion and greater frequency of occurrence of habitat patches in the countryside. Traditional orchards include plantings for nuts, principally hazel nuts, but also walnuts. Management of the trees is the other main feature distinguishing traditional orchards and wood-pasture and parkland. Trees in traditional orchards are, or were, grown for fruit and nut production, usually achieved through activities such as grafting and pruning; whereas timber has been the main product from trees in wood-pastures and parkland, mostly derived from pollarding or selective felling. Grazing or cutting of herbaceous vegetation are integral to orchard management, as they are in wood-pastures and parkland.

Felling Licence Applications

Anyone wishing to fell trees must ensure that a licence or permission under a grant scheme has been issued by Natural Resources Wales (NRW) before any felling is carried out or that one of the exceptions apply.  The applicant would normally need to get permission from the NRW to fell growing trees. This is usually given in a Felling Licence or an approval under a Dedication Scheme. This dataset provides a record of all approved Felling License Applications in Wales and type of license approved.  The data available to the public under an Open Government Licence has personal information redacted.

Woodland Dedications

The Dedication woodland Scheme (Basis I and II) was introduced in 1947 in order to encourage landowners to retain their land in forestry and to introduce good forestry practice. Basis III was introduced in 1974, providing grants for new planting and additional supplements for broadleaves. The Dedication Scheme was closed to new applicants in 1981. Land still under Dedication could continue to be within the scheme but Dedication would terminate on a change of ownership. Dedication schemes without a Plan of Operations and therefore receiving no grant, are deemed to be under Negative Covenant.

Better Woodlands for Wales Case Boundaries

Better Woodlands for Wales (BBW) is the Forestry Commission Wales (FCW) grant scheme designed to meet the Woodland Strategy vision. The vision of the strategy for Wales to be known for its high-quality woodlands that enhance the landscape, are appropriate to local conditions and have a diverse mixture of species and habitats. The BBW scheme has been developed in consultation with woodland owners and their agents as well as our partner organisations. As a result, the new scheme places greater emphasis on good quality woodland management and offers grants specially designed for Welsh woodlands. Grant aid is now based upon an approved long term management plan. This plan must meet the minimum standards under the UK Woodland Assurance Scheme. BWW was closed to new applications in April 2012.

Water Framework Directive (WFD) River Basin Districts Cycle 2

Water Framework Directive (WFD) River Basin Districts (RBD) is a polygon Shapefile dataset containing attributes that have been collated as defined for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). Article 2, clause 2 of the WFD defines them as '...the area of land and sea, made up of one or more neighbouring river basins together with their associated groundwaters and coastal waters…'. River Basin Districts have been delineated by using River Catchments as \building blocks\" that have been aggregated together within a GIS ensuring that WFD rivers do not intersect boundaries. Coastal and transitional waterbodies are also merged and assigned to a river basin district. River Catchments were delineated through use of flow data and a digital terrain model run through a hydrological model. These data apply to Cycle 2 of the Water Framework Directive."

Water Framework Directive (WFD) Operational Catchments Cycle 2

Operational catchments are a way of grouping Water Framework Directive (WFD) waterbodies together at a meaningful scale smaller than the management catchment or River Basin District. The river waterbodies are not always hydrologically linked as they may have been grouped based on pressures and measures. This data set is based on the surface water boundaries of operational catchments and excludes the underlying Groundwater data.

Great Crested Newt - Risk Zones (Leicestershire, Rutland, Rushcliffe and South Kesteven)

This dataset identifies areas where the distribution of great crested newts (GCN) has been categorised into zones relating to GCN occurrence and the level of impact development is likely to have on this species. Red zones contain key populations of GCN, which are important on a regional, national or international scale and include designated Sites of Special Scientific Interest for GCN. Amber zones contain main population centres for GCN and comprise important connecting habitat that aids natural dispersal. Green zones contain sparsely distributed GCN and are less likely to contain important pathways of connecting habitat for this species. White zones contain no GCN. However, as most of England forms the natural range of GCN, white zones are rare and will only be used when it is certain that there are no GCN. Attribution statement: © Natural England, 2020

Risk of Flooding from Surface Water

The surface water flood maps give an indication of the broad areas likely to be at risk of surface water flooding.  This includes flooding that takes place from the surface runoff generated by rainwater (including snow and other precipitation) that: (a) is on the surface of the ground (whether or not it is moving), and (b) has not yet entered a watercourse, drainage system or public sewer.  The Flood Map for Surface Water pick out natural drainage channels, rivers, low areas in floodplains, and flow paths between buildings. But it does not indicate flooding caused by local rainfall.  It does not show flooding that occurs from overflowing watercourses, drainage systems or public sewers caused by catchment-wide rainfall events or river flow.  A national model has been run for 1 in 30, 1 in 100 and 1 in 1000 year rainfall events.  It has been modelled on a 2 metre square grid.  Lead Local Flood Authorities were consulted and where available locally held model outputs have been incorporated into the maps.  This dataset has been superseded by the new National Flood Hazard Maps 2019 - NRW_DS124790

Water Framework Directive (WFD) Transitional Waterbodies Cycle 2

'Water Framework Directive (WFD) Transitional Waterbodies' is a polygon Shapefile dataset containing attributes that have been collated as defined for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). Article 2, clause 6 of the WFD defines them as '...bodies of surface water in the vicinity of river mouths which are partly saline in character as a result of their proximity to coastal waters but are substantially influenced by freshwater flows'. Transitional waterbodies were defined from Mean High Water boundaries, taken directly from OS 1:50K MeridianTM 2, and NRW estuarine boundaries defined for the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD). Since waterbodies are attributed with a unique identifier 'EA_WB_ID' this dataset can be linked directly to other WFD data sources such as physical characteristics, risk, classification and proposed objectives. These data apply to Cycle 2 of the Water Framework Directive.

Water Framework Directive (WFD) Coastal Waterbodies Cycle 2

Water Framework Directive (WFD) Coastal Waterbodies is a polygon Shapefile dataset containing attributes that have been collated as defined for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). Article 2, clause 7 of the WFD defines coastal waterbodies as '...a surface water on the landward side of a line, every point of which is at a distance of one nautical mile on the seaward side from the nearest point of the baseline from which the breadth of territorial waters is measured, extending where appropriate up to the outer limit of transitional waters'. Coastal waters were defined by territorial waters 1 nautical mile from the Mean High Water coastline taken directly from OS 1:50K MeridianTM 2. The delineation between coastal and estuarine waters was delineated by the Environment Agency defined transitional waterbodies. Waterbodies are also split and assigned to River Basin Districts. Since waterbodies are attributed with a unique identifier 'EA_WB_ID' this dataset can be linked directly to other WFD data sources such as physical characteristics, risk, classification and proposed objectives. This dataset covers the layer for Cycle 2 of the Water framework Directive.
