Description: This layer provides details of industrial/commercial sites regulated by environmental pollution control legislation (Environmental Protection Act 1990 Part I, and The Pollution Prevention and Control Act 1999. It shows Processes, Installations and Activities Authorised or Permitted (or pending issue/withdrawal) as at the 1st April 2007.
Description: Ancient Woodland is land that has had a continuous woodland cover since 1600AD and may be ancient semi natural woodland (ASNW), which retains a native tree and shrub cover that has not been planted, although it may have been managed by coppicing or felling and allowed to regenerate naturally, or plantation on ancient woodland sites (PAWS) where the original tree cover has been felled and replaced by planting, often with conifers, and usually over the last century.The inventory identifies over 52,000 ancient woodland sites in England. Ancient woodland is identified using presence or absence of woods from old maps, information about the wood's name, shape, internal boundaries, location relative to other features, ground survey, and aerial photography. The information recorded about each wood and stored on the Inventory Database includes its grid reference, its area in hectares and how much is semi-natural or replanted. Prior to the digitisation of the boundaries, only paper maps depicting each ancient wood at 1:50 000 scale were available.

Description: A Local Wildlife Site (LWS) is a site of local importance for the conservation of biodiversity. LWSs receive no legal protection, but are given some degree of protection through the planning system. Previously known as Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (BioSINCs). Local Wildlife Sites are a local, non-statutory designation that sits below, but complements, the national suite of statutorily designated Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). They are of substantive value for the conservation of biodiversity in the county of Nottinghamshire, and are home to rare and scarce species, or represent the best surviving examples of habitats that were once widespread and typical of the Nottinghamshire landscape. Collectively, these sites form an essential ecological network and act as wildlife corridors and stepping stones, allowing species to migrate and dispersal between sites. The continued existence of these sites is vital to safeguard wildlife from the pressures of development, intensive agriculture and climate change.The dataset is a product of the Nottinghamshire Biological and Geological Records Centre (NBGRC). Local Wildlife Sites are identified by the NBGRC using criteria set by the Local Sites Panel. Membership of the Local Sites Panel consists of a range of organisations including local authorities, nature conservation NGOs, and the private sector.Where a site crosses the boundary between adjacent local authorities, the site will be duplicated for each local authority.
Description: Local Nature Reserves (LNRs) are for both people and wildlife. They are places with wildlife or geological features that are of special interest locally, which give people special opportunities to study and learn about them or simply enjoy and have contact with nature. Local Nature Reserves are a statutory designation made under Section 21 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 by principal local authorities. Proposed sites are included as these also have some planning protection.
Description: A National Nature Reserve (NNR) is the land declared under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 or Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) as amended. The data does not include "proposed" sites.

Description: A Special Area of Conservation (SAC) is the land designated under Directive 92/43/EEC on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora.Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) are protected areas in the UK designated under:The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended) in England and Wales (including the adjacent territorial sea) and to a limited extent in Scotland (reserved matters) and Northern Ireland (excepted matters),The Conservation (Natural Habitats &c.) Regulations 1994 (as amended) in Scotland,The Conservation (Natural Habitats, &c) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995 (as amended) in Northern Ireland, andThe Conservation of Offshore Marine Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 in the UK offshore area.Under these Regulations, the UK Government and devolved administrations are required to establish a network of important high-quality conservation sites that will make a significant contribution to conserving the habitats and species identified in Annexes I and II, respectively, of European Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora, known as the Habitats Directive. The listed habitat types and species are those considered to be most in need of conservation at a European level (excluding birds). Of the Annex I habitat types, 78 are believed to occur in the UK. Of the Annex II species, 43 are native to, and normally resident in, the UK.SACs, together with Special Protection Areas (SPAs), form part of the UK's national site network.
Description: Air pollution affects the health of everyone in Nottingham. Along with emissions from transport and construction, burning wood and other solid fuels can contribute to this air pollution problem.The whole of the Nottingham City Council area is subject to Smoke Control Orders under the Clean Air Act 1993. Smoke Control Orders declare and define Smoke Control Areas and restrict or prohibit the burning of coal or wood. Each area has a corresponding 'Operative Date' of when the Order came into effect. The smoke control programme has significantly improved air quality for City residents by reducing the concentrations of smoke and sulphur dioxide which are emitted when coal and some other fuels are burned. For more information, please visit: https://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/information-for-residents/community/environmental-health-and-public-protection/pollution-and-nuisances/air-pollution-and-air-quality/smoke-control-areas-and-wood-burning-stoves/
Description: A Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) is the land notified as an SSSI under the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981), as amended. Sites notified under the 1949 Act only are not included in the Data set. SSSI are the finest sites for wildlife and natural features in England, supporting many characteristic, rare and endangered species, habitats and natural features.
Description: Location of trees, groups of trees, woodlands and other areas of trees in the City of Nottingham. It includes the TPO number along with the reference number of the tree or area. This data only shows tree preservation orders that are confirmed or provisional.
Description: The District Heating System uses the steam produced when domestic and commercial waste collected is burnt at the Eastcroft incinerator, to heat water that is distributed to customers over a pipe network, providing heat and hot water.Not all pipes contain steam: the primary and secondary pipework contain pressurised hot water, with the secondary networks operating at a lower pressure and temperature to the primary networks. However, operating temperature of the primary network is varied according to the heating load and at certain times the primary networks shall contain water that, if released, turns into steam. Redundant pipes are those that are in situ but not in use.
Description: Since December 1997 each local authority in the UK has been carrying out a review and assessment of air quality in their area. This involves measuring air pollution and trying to predict how it will change in the next few years. The aim of the review is to make sure that the national air quality objectives (PDF) will be achieved throughout the UK by the relevant deadlines. These objectives have been put in place to protect people's health and the environment.If a local authority finds any places where the objectives are not likely to be achieved, it must declare an Air Quality Management Area there. This area could be just one or two streets, or it could be much bigger.Then the local authority will put together a plan to improve the air quality - a Local Air Quality Action Plan.A variation was made by the Nottingham No.2 Air Quality Management Order 2002 (Nitrogen Dioxide) Variation Order 2019, which designates the whole of the Nottingham City administrative area as an AQMA effective from 9th January 2019. This is an amendment to the the Nottingham No2 Air Quality Management Area (Nitrogen Dioxide) - City Centre and the Nottingham No3 Air Quality Management Area(Nitrogen Dioxide) - Dunkirk which were made by Orders on 1st February 2002 and amended on 22nd June 2010. The ongoing review process may result in the need for an AQMA to be amended or revoked. All decisions to amend or revoke an AQMA are subject to full consultation.

Description: Air pollution background concentration maps are published by Defra and the Devolved Administrations to assist local authorities in carrying out Review and Assessment of local air quality as part of their duties under the Environmental Act 1995 as amended by the Environment Act 2021.The main purpose of the background maps is to provide estimates of background concentrations for specific pollutants. These can then be used in air quality assessments to better understand the contribution of local sources to total pollutant concentrations. They provide information on how pollutant concentrations change over time and across a wide area; they also provide an estimated breakdown of the relative sources of pollution. The maps allow for the assessment of new pollutant sources that are introduced into an area and the impact they may have upon local air quality.Background maps are updated by Defra periodically due to updates to underlying data, including emissions factors. Local authorities should use the most up-to-date data and supporting tools made available.UK background maps are made available for a reference year and projection years for a range of pollutants including oxides of nitrogen (NOx), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5).The current base reference year for the data is 2018 and the projections are available up until 2030 for NOx, NO2, PM10 and PM2.5. Available as 1x1km grid file of concentrations for each local authority (per pollutant). Maps are used for all new air quality assessments.

Description: This data, officially referred to as the Indicative Atlas of Radon, presents a simplified version of the more detailed Radon Potential dataset, with each 1km grid square being classed according to the highest radon potential found within it, so is indicative rather than definitive. Radon is a natural radioactive gas, which enters buildings from the ground and persists or accumulates where ventilation is poor. Prolonged exposure to elevated levels of radon increases the risk of lung cancer. It is formed by the radioactive decay of the small amounts of uranium that occur naturally in all rocks and soils. This data presents a simplified version of the radon potential dataset with each 1km grid square being classed according to the highest radon potential found within it, so is indicative rather than definitive.
Description: Local Geological Sites (LGSs) are a non-statutory designation based on locally developed criteria, which identifies geological and geomorphological sites of local importance. These sites were previously referred to as Regionally Important Geological Sites (RIGs).Local Geological Sites are sites of local importance for geodiversity but are not legally protected. The primary purpose of the Local Site system is to allow the most important wildlife and geodiversity sites in the county (outside statutorily designated SSSIs) to be identified, so that informed decisions can be made about their protection and management, and about changes in land use that may affect such sites.Local Geological Sites are usually selected by voluntary geoconservation groups and in the case of Nottinghamshire, by NBGRC (Nottinghamshire Biological and Geological Records Centre).

Description: Nottingham City Council commisioned a project to produce a digital habitat baseline for the City and undertake habitat surveys of key wildlife sites. The purpose of this work is to allow for detailed analysis of the City’s natural resources as well as to provide an indication of the condition of habitats in Nottingham’s key wildlife sites. The outputs of the project consist of a report, and a digital GIS habitat map for the City of Nottingham for use in GIS analysis and integrated master planning. This will then be applied to inform further biodiversity opportunity and natural capital mapping. The data should be viewed alongside the report, which can be found here: https://www.nottinghaminsight.org.uk/d/abHIvLuo
Description: A project was commissioned by Nottingham City Council in August 2021 to undertake a detailed analysis of the city’s natural resources, habitat networks, tree stock, and ecosystem services. The work is part of a wider project regarding natural capital in Nottingham involving habitat mapping, ecosystem service assessment, and a tree planting strategy. This data forms part of the biodiversity opportunity mapping element (Lot 2) of the project. The aims of the biodiversity opportunity mapping are to: 1. Through ecological network modelling, build an understanding of Nottingham’s ecological networks, both at the regional and local scales 2. Identify high-level opportunities for biodiversity enhancement, including opportunities to expand existing core habitat, watercourse daylighting opportunities (for watercourses currently flowing through culverts) and opportunities to enhance areas of modified grassland 3. Develop initial priorities for biodiversity enhancement using additional data, including geology and property ownership. The Culvert Daylighting Opportunities layer identifies the locations where culverts sit beneath green spaces and shows potential opportunities for culvert daylighting that could be investigated through urban drainage and flood risk assessment.Removing sections of culvert in areas of green space to produce open streams and pools - so-called culvert daylighting - could extend the wetland habitat network and bring about some of the benefits of open watercourses.

This data forms part of the biodiversity opportunity mapping element (Lot 2) of the project. The aims of the biodiversity opportunity mapping are to: 1. Through ecological network modelling, build an understanding of Nottingham’s ecological networks, both at the regional and local scales 2. Identify high-level opportunities for biodiversity enhancement, including opportunities to expand existing core habitat, watercourse daylighting opportunities (for watercourses currently flowing through culverts) and opportunities to enhance areas of modified grassland 3. Develop initial priorities for biodiversity enhancement using additional data, including geology and property ownership. The Local Networks layers were modelled for four broad habitat groups: woodland, wetland, heathland and grassland. Constraints represent areas where the physical environment and existing infrastructure constrain opportunities for habitat enhancement and creation that were identified by the network modelling. Prior to modelling of biodiversity opportunities, these constraints were removed from each of the associated networks, prior to further analysis of biodiversity opportunity. PLEASE NOTE: This data should be used alongside the Biodiversity Opportunity Mapping report: https://www.nottinghaminsight.org.uk/d/abHIzB7H

Develop initial priorities for biodiversity enhancement using additional data, including geology and property ownership. The Regional Network layer contains the modelled regional-scale habitat network for grassland and heathland, and woodland; it is modelled from broad habitat categories to assess their interconnectedness with respect to a generic focal species.

Description: Locations of Nottingham City Council litter bins. Dog waste bins are not identified separately as all litter bins (with the exception of recycling bins) take dog waste. This data contains bins maintained by Street Cleansing teams, and Open & Green Spaces.
Description: The Flood Map for Planning (Rivers and Sea) includes several layers of information. This dataset covers Flood Zone 2 and should not be used without Flood Zone 3. It is our best estimate of the areas of land at risk of flooding, when the presence of flood defences are ignored and covers land between Zone 3 and the extent of the flooding from rivers or the sea with a 1 in 1000 (0.1%) chance of flooding each year. This dataset also includes those areas defined in Flood Zone 3.This dataset is designed to support flood risk assessments in line with Planning Practice Guidance ; and raise awareness of the likelihood of flooding to encourage people living and working in areas prone to flooding to find out more and take appropriate action.The information provided is largely based on modelled data and is therefore indicative rather than specific. Locations may also be at risk from other sources of flooding, such as high groundwater levels, overland run off from heavy rain, or failure of infrastructure such as sewers and storm drains.
