houses of multiple occupancy licensing (stirling council) housing - open data

Introduced in Scotland from October 2000, the licensing of houses in multiple occupation (HMO) is a crucial element within the private rented sector regulatory framework, helping to improve both physical accommodation standards and the management of tenancy issues. HMOs provide an important supply of housing, particularly for groups of people such as students, transient workers, and those who need extra support in their daily lives. Mandatory HMO licensing applies to houses occupied by three or more persons, from three or more families, as their only or main residence. All HMOs must meet physical standards set by the licensing local authority under Part 5 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2006. Mandatory licensing applies to houses or flats occupied by three or more unrelated people, who share bathroom or kitchen facilities. The owner of an HMO must have a licence from the local authority where the property is situated. Licensing helps ensure that accommodation is safe, well managed and of good quality. HMOs are also covered by fire safety legislation. Before granting a licence, the local authority must be satisfied that: * the owner and any manager of the property is ‘fit and proper’ to hold a licence; * the property meets required physical standards; and * the property is suitable for use as an HMO (or could be made so by including conditions on the licence). This dataset provides an overview of licenses by postcode, with additional Ward and Community Council information. The local authority sets the standards required and also sets the fees charged for a licence application.

output area boundaries (stirling council) census 2022 - open data

output area boundaries scotland's census 2022 - open data This dataset shows the 2022 Census Output Areas (OAs). OAs are the smallest geographical unit for which Census data is released, and as a result, they act as the basic “building-blocks” for the creation of other statistical geographies, e.g. Data Zones. The OAs are constructed by aggregating together a small number of Postcodes. Because the OAs cover small areas and contain relatively small numbers of households and population (households in the range 25 to 89; population >= 60), there is only a limited amount of Census data that can be released without infringing confidentiality. An important requirement during the creation of the 2022 OAs was to attempt to keep the boundaries the same, or similar, as the 2011 OAs – this would make it easier to compare over the time period Schema; * Local Authority Code * Local Authority * Output Area Code * Master Postcode * Easting (X) * Northing (Y)
article 4 conservation directives (stirling council) planning - open data

This dataset is published as Open Data and replaces all previously published versions. An Article 4 Direction is a statement made under The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Scotland) Amendment Order 2011. The Direction, made by a local authority and approved by Scottish Ministers, removes all or some of the permitted development rights on an area. The effect of a Direction is that planning permission will be required for specific types of development which would otherwise have been regarded as 'permitted development', and would not have required a planning application. Directions can cover a variety of minor works and might include: * the replacement of doors and windows * the erection of gates * fences * garages * sheds * porches * storage tanks * the installation of satellite antennae Article 4 Directions complement Conservation Areas and may overlap these – in many cases an Article 4 Direction can be applied to a whole Conservation Area in order to protect the historic character and setting of the area from inappropriate building alterations or development.
agricultural parishes (stirling) - open data

This dataset is published as Open Data with the boundaries clipped to the Stirling Council area. Agricultural parishes are based on Civil Parishes which were abolished as an administrative unit in Scotland in 1975. Agricultural parishes continue to be used for boundary and statistical purposes. Agricultural parish boundaries were last updated in 2016. There are 891 agricultural parishes in Scotland and they are used in the Agricultural Census and for the payment of farming grants and subsidies. The dataset contains parish boundaries, parish names, parish codes and GSS codes (the latter were assigned in September 2023 to allow for the publication of Official Statistics for this geography, although the original parish codes also remain in use).
core paths (stirling council) - open data

This dataset is published as Open Data Every local authority and National Park authority (access authorities) in Scotland is required to draw up a plan for a system of paths (core paths) sufficient for the purpose of giving the public reasonable access throughout their area. Core paths are paths, waterways or any other means of crossing land to facilitate, promote and manage the exercise of access rights under the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003, and are identified as such in access authority core paths plan. There are, intentionally, no set physical standards for core paths. This means that core paths can physically be anything from a faint line across a field to a fully constructed path, track or pavement. The National Access Forum, Scottish Natural Heritage and Scottish Government are encouraging information to be surveyed and made publicly available, in a nationally-standardised form, so that the public will know what physical type of route they can expect. Government guidance is making core paths the priority for rolling out this national standardised grading system information, which is set out at https://www.pathsforall.org.uk/resources/resource/the-path-managers-guide-to-grading
local development plan sites (2018) planning - open data

This dataset is published as Open Data. Please also note the dataset contains a number of duplicated polygons that share the same geometries but different values. This dataset should therefore be used with these caveats in mind. Development plans set out the long term vision for where development should and shouldn’t happen in the places they cover. The local development plan is the principal land use planning document used in assessing applications for planning permission, based upon national, regional and local policies and proposals. It is the most significant material consideration in determining such applications and reference to the local development plan is essential for most types of proposed development. The main spatial element is typically the policies and proposals map, which is created from the data that is also used in this dataset. Some policies will be plan-wide, and not reproduced spatially, so this dataset contains policy data that is linked to a discrete area within the planning authority area. Update and reference to other datasets This dataset will be updated as and when development plans are replaced and formally adopted by authorities, on a minimum quarterly basis in operational terms each year. Local development plans are currently replaced on a five year basis and will be further modified by the forthcoming Planning Act, likely moving to a ten year cycle with interim updates, although it is not yet clear on how updates will be prepared. This dataset should be used in conjunction with other planning related datasets available, notably planning applications, conservation areas, housing land and employment land. There may be some duplication with related layers, due to the ways that particular authorities may share data, and this will be resolved on a layer-by-layer basis as this dataset (and others) are developed. This is also true for some national datasets, such as statutory designations for natural heritage: these typically originate with other agencies although they are often published as part of a local development plan. This will also be resolved, in data architecture terms, through dialogue with these key agencies.
prime retail areas (stirling council) planning - open data

This dataset is published as Open Data. This dataset was produced in support of Stirling Council's Local Development Plan, published and adopted 2018. A Prime Retail area in a local development plan is a key commercial zone with high foot traffic and concentrated retail businesses. The plan aims to boost attractiveness and accessibility through infrastructure improvements, better transportation, pedestrian-friendly spaces, and aesthetic upgrades. This creates vibrant commercial hubs that support the local economy and offer diverse shopping and dining experiences for residents and visitors.
green corridors (linked networks) planning - open data

Routes including canals, river corridors and old railway lines, linking different areas within a town or city as part of a designated and managed network and used for walking, cycling or horse riding, or linking towns and cities to their surrounding countryside or country parks. These may link green spaces together. A council development plan may designate a green belt around a city or town to support the spatial strategy by: * directing development to the most appropriate locations and supporting regeneration; * protecting and enhancing the character, landscape setting and identity of the settlement; and * protecting and providing access to open space.
surface coal area (bgs and national coal mining database) planning - open data

This dataset is published as Open Data Abstract The Surface Coal Resource Areas define the coal resources capable of being extracted by surface mining methods, often referred to as ‘opencast’. This information is used by Local Planning Authorities as part of the duty to safeguard minerals from unnecessary sterilisation. The surface coal resource areas shown have been derived from current information available to the Coal Authority and British Geological Survey. Purpose Together with the Surface Coal Mining Areas provide information to Mineral Planning Authorities as part of the duty to safeguard minerals from unnecessary sterilisation. Supplementary Information The surface coal resource areas shown have been derived from information available to the Coal Authority and British Geological Survey at the stated point in time. Status of the data Extract of data from the National Coal Mining Database Data update frequency: As needed
development high risk (national coal mining database) planning - open data

This dataset is published as Open Data Abstract The Development High Risk Area is the part of the coal mining reporting area which contains one or more recorded coal mining related features which have the potential for instability or a degree of risk to the surface from the legacy of coal mining operations. The combination of features included in this composite area includes mine entries; shallow coal workings (recorded and probable); recorded coal mining related hazards; recorded mine gas sites; fissures and breaklines and previous surface mining sites. New development in this defined area needs to demonstrate that the development will be safe and stable taking full account of former coal mining activities. This area was formally known as the Development Referral Area. Purpose The development high risk areas have been defined to enable developers and planners to understand and consider the potential for instability or degree of risk from the legacy of coal mining operations. This information is also provided to asset managers for the management of the land assets of public bodies and major landowners. Supplementary Information The National Coal Mining Database, which is based on the records held at The Coal Authority offices in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, is updated on a regular basis. This dataset has been extracted from this dynamic database on the date stated below and therefore represents a snapshot in time. Status of the data Extract of data from the National Coal Mining Database Data update frequency: As needed
development low risk (national coal mining database) planning - open data

This dataset is published as Open Data Abstract The Development Low Risk Area is the part of the coal mining reporting area which contains no recorded coal mining legacy risks to the surface. New development within this defined area is subject to general Standing Advice from the Coal Authority. Purpose The development low risk areas are used by Planning Authorities to determine that a planning application is subject to general Standing Advice from the Coal Authority. Supplementary Information The National Coal Mining Database, which is based on the records held at The Coal Authority offices in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, is updated on a regular basis. This dataset has been extracted from this dynamic database on the date stated below and therefore represents a snapshot in time.

planning policy boundaries (within the stirling council area) planning - open data

This dataset allows a user to view, analyse the two policy areas that exist clipped (within) the Stirling Council area. Policy areas covering Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park and Stirling Council. Planning policy areas encompass a range of topics designed to guide development and land use in a manner that supports sustainable growth, environmental protection, and community well-being. Key areas include: * Housing: Policies focus on the provision of affordable housing, housing density, and the allocation of land for residential development to meet current and future needs. * Economic Development: This includes policies aimed at supporting local businesses, attracting investment, and designating areas for commercial and industrial development. * Transport and Infrastructure: Planning policies in this area cover the development and maintenance of transport networks, including roads, public transport, cycling, and walking infrastructure, as well as utilities and digital connectivity. * Environmental Protection: Policies are designed to protect natural resources, including landscapes, biodiversity, water quality, and air quality, and to mitigate the impacts of climate change. * Heritage and Conservation: This area focuses on preserving historic buildings, archaeological sites, and culturally significant landscapes, ensuring that development respects the character and heritage of the area. * Renewable Energy: Policies support the development of renewable energy projects, such as wind, solar, and hydroelectric power, to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable energy sources. * Community Facilities: This includes planning for schools, healthcare facilities, parks, and other public amenities that support community life. These policy areas are outlined in local development plans, which are periodically reviewed and updated to reflect changing needs and priorities. They ensure that development is planned in a holistic and integrated manner, balancing economic growth with social and environmental objectives.

sites of special scientific interest (scotland) naturescot - open data

This dataset references directly NatureScot's Open Data Hub, the data is not hosted in Stirling's platform and, therefore, will be updated as soon as NatureScot releases any updates. Symbology for the layers published as per NatureScot. [NatureScot Spatial Data Hub] Many are also designated as Natura sites (Special Protection Areas or Special Areas of Conservation).The national network of SSSIs in Scotland forms part of the wider GB series. SNH designates SSSIs under the Nature Conservation (Scotland) Act 2004. SSSIs are protected by law. It is an offence for any person to intentionally or recklessly damage the protected natural features of an SSSI. SSSIs were first designated under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. The majority of these were later re-notified under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. All 1981 Act SSSI designations are carried forward, and all new SSSI designations are now made, under the Nature Conservation (Scotland) Act 2004.
