This is a working copy of the Leeds City Council Area public rights of way. It is not a legal document and does not replace the Definitive Map. It should only be used as an indication of public rights of way on the published date and will not include any changes made after that date. It should not be used for determining the position or alignment of public rights of way, legal searches or conveyancing purposes. The claims layer does not shown legally recorded public rights of way and the information in this layer should never be purported to show routes that are legally available to the public as many are not. They are claimed paths that need investigating and may never be recorded on the Definitive Map. Viewing the data in more detail than 1:10,560 may produce and inaccurate rendering of the line of the public rights of way. The Authorities data contains Ordnance Survey data © Crown Copyrights 2020

PEATMAP is a GIS shapefile dataset that shows a distribution of peatlands that covers the entire world. It was produced by combining the most high quality available peatland map from a wide variety of sources that describe peatland distributions at global, regional and national levels. The following sequence of comparisons to discriminate between overlapping data sources were used: (1) Relevance. The most important criterion was that source data are able to identify peatlands faithfully and to distinguish them from other land cover types, especially non-peat forming wetlands. (2) Spatial resolution. In areas where two or more overlapping data sources were indistinguishable in terms of their relevance to peatlands, the dataset with the finest spatial resolution was selected. (3) Age. In any areas where two or more overlapping datasets were indistinguishable based on both their apparent relevance to peatlands and their spatial resolution, the data product that had been most recently updated was selected. Recently updated products commonly contain much older source data, the period over which the latest revision source data were collected as the primary measure of the age of a dataset.

Leeds City Council worked with the University of Leeds to update the case studies in its sustainable design & construction document Building for Tomorrow Today to see (where possible) how the buildings have actually performed in reality compared with what was anticipated at the planning stage. In addition, we would like to map the case studies and publicise this via the Leeds Data Mill ( http://www.leedsdatamill.org/ ). It is anticipated that making this dataset available via the data mill may lead to future interest, for instance by creating a ‘Leeds Sustainable Buildings trail’
