Abstract

The Woodland Grant Scheme (WGS) provided incentives for people to create and manage woodlands on sites all over Great Britain. The Forestry Commission paid grants for establishing and looking after woodlands and forests. To qualify for grant the applicant had meet the standards of environmental protection and practice set out in the Forestry Commission's guidelines. WGS3 was operative from October 1994 until its closure to new applications in June 2004. Contents of the dataset: There are two spatial datasets associated with the WGS. These represent the scheme boundary and the grant areas that are encapsulated by this scheme boundary. Boundaries are captured using OS 1:10 000 scale raster maps with reference to maps submitted by the applicant. WGS scheme boundary and grant areas: A single WGS scheme is encapsulated by it's scheme boundary, within which a variety of grant types could be applied, each residing in their own grant area boundary. Important note on spatial duplication: The data is a compiled dataset containing all scheme boundaries under the WGS plan and the grant areas distinguished by the 'Descriptor' attribute. Therefore there are numerous spatial duplicates, the frequency of which is dependent on the grants applied in that WGS case. Caution should be exercised during the use of this compiled data accordingly. Attributes: Descriptor = Description of identified feature PropNumber = Property number PlanNumber = Plan number PropName = Property name Plan_Type = Type of plan (Management, Establishment, both) Prop_Type = Property type (Farm, Recreation, etc) Owner_Type = Owner type (Business, Personal Occupier, etc) Grid_Ref = National grid reference (NS987435) Local_Auth = Council (e.g. Lancaster City Council) Cont_Start = Date the contract started Cont_End = Date the contract ends Case_Offcr = Woodland Officers name Appr_Offcr = Approving Officers name Cons_Name = Conservancy name Total_Area = Total area of work type within scheme Attribution Statement: Contains OS data © Crown copyright [and database right] [year].

Quality and validity

Lineage

Spatial data has been digitised against OS raster backdrops using 1:25,000 scale between 1997 and 2000, and 1:10,000 scale between 2000 and 2004. Amendments to scheme boundaries or grant aided areas are incorporated into the dataset on an ongoing basis but most are now static due to the scheme expiring.
