Legacy_Licensing_Consent_Polygon
This dataset contains the geographical extents of legacy Coast Protection Act 1949 (CPA) consents issued by either the Marine and Fisheries Agency (MFA) or its successor the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) up until 31st March 2011. A CPA consent was required for an activity to take place which may be detrimental to the safety of navigation.

Prior to 6th April 2011, CPA consents and licences under the Food and Environment Protection Act 1985 were issued through a legacy Marine Consents Management System (MCMS). The legacy MCMS database contains information associated with each licence or consent issued, including the geographical extent in the form of coordinates. A number of known issues within the database prevented the data being converted into a meaningful and accurate GIS dataset. In 2012 the MMO commissioned a project to extract and correct the spatial information relating to legacy MCMS licences and consents. The project identified a number of issues in the spatial data, it recorded the errors and corrected them where possible. The result is a series of spatial datasets giving the spatial extent of Marine Licences and Marine Consents prior to April 2011. You can access the report for the MMO1025 Legacy Licensing Data project by contacting the MMO Access to Information team and quoting the ISBN reference 978-1-909452-06-0. The project identified a number of issues with the data and flagged each record with an error code. The error codes are presented in the associated report identified above. A large proportion of the errors were resolved or improved using automated correctional methods in GIS, however some errors were unable to be corrected without referring back to the original case files. Any records that contain an error that has not been fixed have been removed from this dataset until such a time when it can be resolved to a satisfactory standard. Records with the following error codes have been removed until further notice, GRI, U/NP or X. There is potential for duplication between records in the consent and license datasets due to the regulatory process at the time of application. Some of the licences or consents issued through the legacy MCMS database may have been transferred to the current MCMS database, or a variation has since been issued which may have been processed using the current system. Therefore there is potential for duplication of records between this dataset and the current MCMS database.
