AndreaBozzo/ceres-open-data-index huggingface dataset:
Felling Permissions and Licences (2012 onwards)

Description:

=======================================
This dataset applies to Felling Permission Applications (formerly Felling Licence Applications) received by Scottish Forestry (formerly Forestry Commission Scotland) after 1st January 2012 and administered using Scottish Forestry's Case Management System.
=======================================

Anyone wishing to fell trees must ensure that a Felling Permission (formerly Felling Licence) or approval under a grant scheme has been issued by Scottish Forestry before any felling is carried out or that one of the exceptions apply.

You normally need to get permission from Scottish Forestry to fell growing trees. This is usually given in a Felling Permission or an approval under a grant scheme.  In certain circumstances you may also need special permission from another organisation for any proposed felling. This sometimes applies even if you do not need a Felling Permission.

Everyone involved in the felling of trees, whether doing the work or by engaging others, eg. the owner, agent, timber merchant or contractor, must ensure that a Felling Permission or approval under a grant scheme has been issued before any felling is carried out or that one of the exceptions apply. They must also ensure that the work is carried out in accordance with the terms of a Scottish Forestry Felling Permission. If there is no permission, or if the wrong trees are felled, anyone involved can be prosecuted.

Do not begin felling until Scottish Forestry have issued a Felling Permission or other approval.  Any felling carried out without either a Felling Permission or other approval is an offence, unless it is covered by an exception.

Tree Preservation Areas Polygons

This dataset consists of the boundaries of Tree Preservation Order Polyons in the london Borough of Sutton. 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 authorities 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 The London Borough of Sutton 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. This data is an active and changing record of the Tree Preservation Orders in The London Borough of Sutton.

2016 Keith Hiscock Lundy Intertidal Survey of Gannet's Rock

Keith Hiscock, Sarah Fowler, Greg Lingard, and Esther Hughes surveyed the granite boulder intertidal community at Gannet's Rock, Lundy. The aim of the survey was to re-survey the place where L.A.Harvey had surveyed in 1949. Gannet's Rock was reached by Lundy Islands RIB (driven by Derek Green) which departed from Landing Bay. After the Gannet's rock survey, the survey team also noted some species found at Devil's Kitchen.
      Description of site surveyed: A broken shore of granite bedrock with some very large boulders that created cavities and extensive areas of overhanging rock. Smaller boulders were present between bedrock and boulders that could be turned to investigate underboulder communities. There were a few pebbles. There was a basalt dyke that ran across the shore towards low water. The shore exhibited a âclassicâ zonation from yellow and grey lichens to Verrucaria maura with Lichina pygmaea and, lower down the shore, Verrucaria mucosa. Littorina neritoides were frequent in the V. maura zone and amongst Chthamalus montagui further down. The shore was a âlimpet-barnacleâ shore but with some large patches of Ascophyllum nodosum (with Polysiphonia lanosa), extensive patches of Cladophora rupestris especially in âwet placesâ and patches of Fucus vesiculosus around midshore level. Toothed topshells Phorcus lineatus were frequent overall but abundant in clusters. On the lower shore, Laminaria digitata was the characterising species with L. hyperborea in the sublittoral fringe. (Alaria esculenta and L. ochroleuca were looked for but not found.) The low spring tide revealed only Echinus esculentus and Marthasterias glacialis as sublittoral species.

London Borough of Camden Housing Tenant Satisfaction Measures Data 2023-2024

The Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023 established the requirement for all social housing providers to report annually against 22 standard measures called Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) with the aim of improving standards of social housing across the UK and to:

•	Enhance transparency by providing tenants with clear, accessible information about their landlord’s performance
•	Ensure accountability by holding landlords to account for service quality and compliance with consumer standards
•	Improve services by using data to identify areas for improvement and enhance the overall quality of housing services

Of the 22 measures:
•	12 are collected from tenant perception surveys using a sample of tenants
•	10 are collected using management information

The Regulator of Social Housing requires that all housing providers publish their performance data. This slide deck shares the results for Camden Council in its role as a social housing landlord. The information provided complies with this requirement.

SPECIES CONSERVATION
==================
This dataset contains three species conservation options. The aims of these option are as follows:

Grey Squirrel Control -
-----------------------------------
The aim of this option is to support the targeted control of grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) in areas where they are a threat to red squirrel (S. vulgaris) populations. 
This is an annual recurrent grant to support the labour costs for effective grey squirrel control. This includes the setting and monitoring of traps, the humane despatch of live animals and the completion of cull returns.

Predator Control for Capercaillie and Black Grouse -
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This option offers support for predator control to benefit capercaillie and black grouse which are vulnerable to predation.  This option is only available on forested land.
This is an annual grant to support the costs of labour and materials needed to undertake predator control within a 1.5 kilometre radius around active lek or breeding sites. This includes labour costs for shooting and trapping of pest mammals and birds, the monitoring of traps, the humane despatch of live animals, the completion of annual monitoring returns, and associated material costs such as traps.

Reducing Deer Impact -
---------------------------------------
The aim of this option is to reduce deer impacts to a level that will allow the regeneration of unprotected soft conifer and broadleaved species at a landscape scale, to help diversify forests and improve their conservation value.
Grants are available to help reduce deer numbers or maintain them in the range of five to 10 deer per square kilometre.
This is an annual grant to support the costs of labour for culling and monitoring deer populations.
