Former Local Authority Districts

This dataset lists a number of local authority districts that existed in the 1990s.

 These former local authority districts appear in some statistical datasets of the DCLG, but are sufficiently old that they do not have an ONS 'SNAC' code.  Other more recent, but now defunct, local authority districts - for example those which disappeared in the 2009 reforms of local government - do have SNAC codes and appear in the [Administrative Geography Dataset](http://opendatacommunities.org/datasets/administrative-geography).

Government Grants Register

Grant schemes administered by government departments over the 2013 / 14 financial year. Including: the value of the grant schemes, the type of recipients and number of recipients. 

This information was collated for Grants Efficiency Programme in the Cabinet Office. It is not fully comprehensive, but provides a useful overview of the majority of government grants. 

To note, some of the information is an estimate, for example, the number of recipients for certain grants schemes.

Value of orders for new housing construction, Great Britain

This dataset contains a short-term measure of output by the private sector and public corporations in the construction industry in Great Britain, including quarterly data. Values are given in millions of pounds and are seasonally adjusted. 

Output is defined as the amount charged by construction companies to customers for the value of work (produced during the reporting period) excluding VAT and payments to sub-contractors.

Construction output estimates are a short-term indicator of construction output by the private sector and public corporations within Great Britain and are produced from a monthly survey of 8,000 businesses in Great Britain. The estimates are produced and published at current prices (including inflationary price effects) and at chained volume estimates (with inflationary effects removed) both seasonally adjusted and non-seasonally adjusted. Chained volume measures are also described as volume. Construction output is used in the compilation of the output approach to measuring gross domestic product (GDP).

Indices of construction costs - wages and material prices

This dataset contains the indices of UK hourly Construction Wage Costs (quarterly; not seasonally adjusted; 2000 = 100) and UK Construction Material Prices for New Housing, Other New Work, Repair and Maintenance, and All Work (monthly; 2010 = 100).


*Construction Material Prices*

The construction market intelligence (CMI) unit publication, ‘Monthly statistics of building materials and components’, presents the latest detailed information on selected building materials and contains monthly data on price indices, bricks, cement and concrete blocks. It also contains quarterly data on sand and gravel, slate, concrete roofing tiles, ready-mixed concrete and imports and exports of construction products.

Data are derived from a Department for Business, Innovation & Skills monthly [Building Materials and Components](https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/building-materials-and-components-monthly-statistics-2012) statistical release. 


*Construction Wage Costs*

The Index of Labour Costs per Hour (ILCH) is a measure of the cost of having an employee for an hour of work. It represents the total cost of employing an individual, which is primarily the earnings of the employee, but also includes non-wage costs. It is also known as the Labour Cost Index (LCI); the index is produced by all member countries of the EU and collated by Eurostat.

Data are derived from ONS data releases found [here](http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20160105160709/http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/publications/re-reference-tables.html?edition=tcm%3A77-397390).

Duty owed, but no accommodation secured

This dataset contains numbers of households accepted by the authority as homeless and in priority need, but for which no accommodation has yet been secured.

The term "Homelessness" is often considered to apply only to people "sleeping rough". However, most of our statistics on homelessness relate to the statutorily homeless i.e. those households which meet specific criteria of priority need set out in legislation, and to whom a homelessness duty has been accepted by a local authority.

Such households are rarely homeless in the literal sense of being without a roof over their heads, but are more likely to be threatened with the loss of, or are unable to continue with, their current accommodation.

A detailed explanation of the responsibilities of local authorities in this area is available from the DCLG website, [here](http://www.communities.gov.uk/housing/housingresearch/housingstatistics/housingstatisticsby/homelessnessstatistics/notesdefinitions/).

A "main homelessness duty" is owed where the authority is satisfied that the applicant is eligible for assistance, unintentionally homeless and falls within a specified priority need group. Such statutorily homeless households are referred to as "acceptances".

This dataset provides statistics on the numbers of cases where it has been decided that the applicant is eligible for assistance, but no accommodation had yet been provided.

The numbers are presented in terms of households, not individuals. A household is defined as: one person living alone, or a group of people living at the same address who share common housekeeping or a living room.

House price to earnings ratio, England

This dataset contains the ratio of lower quartile/median house price to lower quartile/median earnings in England


This dataset uses the median/lower quartile house price data sourced from ONS House Price Statistics for Small Areas (HPSSA) statistical release for years 2013-2015 and house price data sourced directly from Land Registry prior to 2013. This leads to slight differences in the distribution of affordability ratios before and after 2013 which should be noted if the dataset is used as a time series. It is planned to update the ratios with the HPSSA dataset for all years in the future. 

The house price data is then compared to the median/lower quartile income data of full time workers from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) produced by the ONS.

This data was derived from Table 576 and 577, available for download as an Excel spreadsheet from the Live tables page (https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-housing-market-and-house-prices). More details about the data sources are also available in the link provided.

Historic Environment Division Lidar 2009

The Historic Environment Division (HED) acquired LIDAR over a six year period from 2008 to 2014 to assist with the interpretation and protection of archaeological landscapes in Northern Ireland.

A total area of approximately 130km2 was surveyed during this period across 39 sites. The data is provided “as is” under an Open Government Licence and is not supported.

LIDAR Airborne LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), also known as Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) is a landscape survey technique that uses a laser beam transmitted in rapid pulses from an aircraft in order to accurately measure the distance between the aircraft and the ground. The laser pulses allow measurements to be taken in the order of 100,000 times per second with a vertical accuracy of 0.5cm which produces a dense cloud of points which can then be interpolated to produce an accurate three dimensional model of the landscape below.

In this instance surveys are supplied as either digital surface model (DSM) or as a digital terrain model (DTM).

For the DTM, buildings and vegetation have been removed and only ground returns have used to produce the model.

The technique can be particularly valuable for archaeological survey as it allows large areas to be surveyed accurately enough for the subtle topographic traces of archaeological features to be identified.

The data below was collected in 2009, the attached PDF coverage map shows the areas surveyed in that year.
