This spatial dataset is an output of the Natural England County & City Natural Capital Atlas project (July 2020). It shows variation in ecosystem service flow for habitats across England, based on indicators identified by NE in the 2018 Natural Capital Indicators project. The dataset comprises a hexagonal grid which summarises indicator values across the country (each unit = 5km²).

Natural Capital is an important aspect of current environmental policy and management. This dataset, in combination with the other project outputs, will support understanding of Natural Capital in England and serve as a valuable engagement tool to communicate concepts of the Natural Capital approach to a wide variety of stakeholders.

This dataset is an electronic working copy of the Definitive Map of Public Rights of Way for Cambridgeshire. Please note this is not the legal record of Public Rights of Way in Cambridgeshire. Please be aware that a council's Definitive Map and Statement are the authoritative source of information about the public rights of way in that council's area. The details contained in this published dataset are for information only, and are an interpretation of the Definitive Map and Statement, not the legal records themselves. They should not be relied on for determining the position or alignment of any public right of way. For legal purposes, the data does not replace its Definitive Map and Statement, and changes may have been made to the legal records that are not included in this data. The information is used for indicative purposes only, and does contain errors and anomalies. Where clarification of a route or boundary is required, the original Map and Statement must be consulted and the Highway Asset Information team must be consulted at: HighwaysAssetManagement@cambridgeshire.gov.uk. This dataset is updated daily.

The local authority interactive tool (LAIT) is an app that presents information in interactive tables and charts, along with local authorities’ rank positions in England and against statistical neighbours.

It includes local authority, regional and national data on:

• children looked after and adoption
• child protection
• the children’s social care workforce
• special educational needs and disability
• pupil attainment and attendance
• children’s health
• youth justice
• post-16
• finance

The ‘Children’s services statistical neighbour benchmarking tool’ allows you to select a local authority and display its ‘closest statistical neighbours’ (local authorities with similar characteristics). The tool has been reviewed and rebuilt to include updated socio-economic variables from the 2021 census. More information is available in the associated update note and technical report.

This is a copy of the Public Rights of Way data maintained by Powys County Council. Please note that this information is a digitised version of public rights of way on the Definitive Map for Powys, it should NOT be relied on for legal purposes and may not be fully up to date with changes made to public rights of way in the county, for legal purposes the Definitive Map and Statement held in Llandrindod Wells should be consulted instead.

Note that view is restricted to scales smaller than 1:10000 as accuracy cannot be guaranteed below this scale. The Council can accept no responsibility for any error or inaccuracy which may arise from the transposition of the public rights of way shown on the Definitive Map to a different scale.

The absence of a right of way on the Definitive Map does not mean that a right of way does not exist, nor does it guarantee that a public or private right of some other kind has not arisen over the land.
