Abstract

Countryside Stewardship (CS) was launched in 2015 and is a Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE) grant scheme. It will contribute around £900 million over six years to help farmers and woodland managers look after the environment. Woodland is one of the scheme’s priorities and funding is available to: - create new woodland - support the preparation of management plans - address tree health issues - improve existing woodlands This dataset contains the scheme or case boundaries that make up the CS applications approved by the Forestry Commission for the 2015 application window. The data was recorded within the same system as the predecessor to CS, the English Woodland Grant Scheme (EWGS). Therefore the structure of the data is very similar to that available for EWGS. Further information can be found online here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/countryside-stewardship-woodland-support There are two spatial datasets associated with the 2015 intake of CS. These represent the Case Boundary - this dataset - and the Sub-compartments that are encapsulated by a case boundary. Sub-compartments are available as a separate dataset and contain more detail about the grant activity associated with each case. CS 2015 sub-compartments vs case boundaries: Sub-compartments are the smallest mapped unit of grant aided area under the 2015 intake of CS. Sub-compartments are aggregated up to Case Boundaries, and these boundaries are subsequently used to describe the overall extent of the 2015 CS case. A single case represents one application from an applicant for grant aid, and there may be a number of different grant types contained within a single case. All boundaries for cases that have been approved (and were not subsequently withdrawn without payment) from the inception of the CS are contained in this dataset.
