Description: A Ramsar site is the land listed as a Wetland of International Importance under the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance Especially as Waterfowl Habitat (the Ramsar Convention) 1971.Data supplied has the status of "Listed". The data does not include "Proposed" sites.
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.The data does Not include "proposed" sites.
Description: Regionally Important Geological Sites (RIGS) are sites of regional and local importance for their geology that have not been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
Description: This dataset only shows land owned and managed by Staffordshire Wildlife Trust, or in some case another conservation charity for the purposes of nature conservation. The designation as a 'nature reserve' is considered informal (non-statutory), but some may overlap with other designations such as a Local Wildlife Site or a Site of Specific Scientific Interest (SSSI). Note: There is a difference between 'nature reserves' and 'local nature reserves'. Local Nature Reserves are statutory designations, usually meaning they are publically accessible, and have management plans associated with them.

Description: Listed Buildings are buildings and structures defined by the Secretary of State as being of “special architectural or historic interest”. They include buildings and structures that are deemed to be of importance on a national scale. However, not all listed buildings are grand or attractive – sometimes architectural or historic significance may take precedence over visual qualities, and even fairly small structures such as milestones and water pumps may be listed.There are 3 grades of listing:Grade I – of exceptional interestGrade II* (commonly referred to as “grade two-star”) - of particular importance and containing outstanding features.Grade II – of special interest which warrants every effort to preserve them.
Description: GIS spatial data for Scheduled Monuments, part of the National Heritage list for England. Scheduled monuments are represented by a polygon defining the extent of the statutorily protected area.Scheduling is applied only to sites of national importance, and even then only if it is the best means of protection. Only deliberately created structures, features and remains can be scheduled. There are almost 20,000 Scheduled Monuments on the List. Scheduling is reserved for carefully selected sites, which create a representative sample of sites from different epochs.This layer was updated via MaGic on 20/10/2021.
Description: Historic England's Register of Historic Battlefields identifies 47 important English battlefields. Its purpose is to offer them protection through the planning system, and to promote a better understanding of their significance and public enjoyment.Registered Battlefields in the UK are battlefields recognised as having specific historic or cultural significance. They are recognised as such by conservationist organisations for a variety of reasons, including protecting them from development that may threaten historic buildings, items, or topography.
Description: In the United Kingdom, an ancient woodland is a woodland that has existed continuously since 1600 or before in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Planting of woodland was uncommon before those dates, so a wood present in 1600 is likely to have developed naturally.
Description: Created from the Environment Agency's Flood Map for Planning (Rivers and Sea) - Flood Zone 3 dataset. This covers Flood Zone 3 and can be used to estimate areas at risk of flooding when flood defences are ignored. It covers land with a 1 in 100 (1%) or greater chance of flooding each year from rivers or with a 1 in 200 (0.5%) or greater chance of flooding each year from the sea.Dataset forms part of 'The Flood Map for Planning' (Rivers and Sea) shows the areas across England that could be affected by flooding from rivers or the sea. It also shows flood defences and the areas that benefit from them.
Description: Created from the Environment Agency's Flood Map for Planning (Rivers and Sea) - Flood Zone 2 dataset. This dataset shows Flood Zone 2 and should be used with Flood Zone 3 to estimate areas at risk of flooding when flood defences are ignored. It also cover 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.Dataset forms part of 'The Flood Map for Planning' (Rivers and Sea) shows the areas across England that could be affected by flooding from rivers or the sea. It also shows flood defences and the areas that benefit from them.
Description: Source Protection Zones (SPZs) are defined around large and public potable groundwater abstraction sites(e.g.wells, boreholes and springs). The purpose of SPZs is to provide additional protection to safeguard drinking water quality through constraining the proximity of an activity that may impact upon a drinking water abstraction. This is part of an initial screening process in assessing impacts to groundwater resources. Zones around location sites are defined by groundwater travel time to an abstraction.Zone 1: (Inner Protection Zone) - This zone is defined by a travel time of 50-days or less from any point within the zone at, or below, the water table. Additionally, the zone has as a minimum a 50-metre radius. It is based principally on biological decay criteria and is designed to protect against the transmission of toxic chemicals and water-borne disease.Zone 2: (Outer Protection Zone) - This zone is defined by the 400-day travel time from a point below the water table. Additionally this zone has a minimum radius of 250 or 500 metres, depending on the size of the abstraction. The travel time is derived from consideration of the minimum time required to provide delay, dilution and attenuation of slowly degrading pollutants.Zone 3: (Total catchment) - This zone is defined as the total area needed to support the abstraction or discharge from the protected groundwater source.A further Zone 4, or ‘Zone of Special Interest’ is occasionally defined for some groundwater sources. These zones highlight areas (mainly on non-aquifers) where known local conditions mean that potentially polluting activities could impact on a groundwater source, even though the area is outside the normal catchment of that source.
Description: All land within the coalfield falls wthin either a Development High Risk Area or Development Low Risk Area.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. If proposed development is located within a Development High Risk Area, planning applications need to be accompanied by a Coal Mining Risk Assessment (CMRA) to the Local Authority.
Description: All land within the coalfield falls within either a Development High Risk Area or Development Low Risk Area.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.As part of the planning application, there is not statutory requirement to submitt a Coal Mining Risk Assessment (CMRA) to the Local Authorityif the proposed development falls within a Development Low Risk Area.

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.This data was downloaded from the DEFRA site on 20/10/2021.
