They are the most local tier of statutory representation in Scotland. They bridge the gap between local authorities and communities and help to make public bodies aware of the opinions and needs of the communities they represent. Community councils are statutory consultees under various processes, such as for planning applications.</p>\n<p>There are many instances where polygons do not tessellate or snap to local authority boundaries. The Spatial Hub processing can correct for some minor gap errors (&lt;5m) but not larger ones. Such gaps in the dataset mean that it cannot potentially be used for some kinds of spatial analysis e.g. point in polygon, because some point locations may fall within the gaps. These gaps either require amendment at source or approval for the IS to change.    </p>\n<p>\"name\", \"url\" and \"status\" are now MANDATORY fields for this dataset.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           </p>", "organization": "Midlothian Council", "original_dataset_link": "https://data.spatialhub.scot/dataset/community_council_boundaries-ml", "records": null, "resources": [{"format": "ZIP", "name": "Midlothian Council Community Council Boundaries", "url": "https://data.spatialhub.scot/dataset/2024392b-14f5-4a09-aab4-0fa976ede3f2/resource/7fbfe97c-55a5-449b-bd65-00a009ef7850/download/commcouncil.zip"}], "schema": "default", "title": "Community Council Boundaries - Midlothian"}

<p>A Web Mapping Tile Service (WMTS) layer identifying optimal locations across Scotland for mine water geothermal development.</p>
<p>Mine water geothermal energy describes the low-carbon practice of using water held in abandoned flooded mines to heat or cool surface thermal demands. The low temperatures (as low as 10°C) require heat pump technology to upgrade thermal energy to usable temperatures for heating homes or industrial applications. The intention of the mine water geothermal resource atlas is to highlight optimal areas to exploit MWG energy in Scotland. If the scale of Scotland’s mine water thermal resource, estimated at 12 GW, becomes better communicated we envisage that this atlas will prove influential for increasing the rate and success of MWG deployment. Ideally, the provision of feasible MWG sites will influence stakeholder decisions i.e., where to invest and develop land to make the best use of the low-carbon resource, resulting in MWG potential included as part of a standard appraisal for a residential or industrial development plan. Whilst it is acknowledged that focused expert input would be required to integrate surface heat demand and subsurface resources in detail, the atlas provides non-experts and decision makers with a first-pass high-level summary of the potential MWG resource located within their area of interest.</p>
<p>The four criteria for site selection are summarised below:</p>
<ol>
<li>There are more than one (overlapping) mined seams.</li>
<li>The mined seams are deeper than 30 m to minimise subsidence risk.</li>
<li>The mine water head (i.e., mine “water table”) is not excessively deep (&lt; 60 m below ground level) to avoid excessive pumping costs.</li>
<li>The mined seams are shallower than 250 m below ground level to minimise drilling costs.</li>
</ol>
<p>As a result, this atlas has identified a total of 370.3 km2 across 19 local authority areas which are most suitable for MWG development.</p>
<p>Symbology:
 The calculated depths for mine water head (Criterion 3) are mapped in 10 m increments with shallower values (0 m – 20 m BGL) shown in shades of pink and deeper values (20 m - 60 m BGL) shown in shades of blue. Where mine water head is shallow (0 m - 20 m BGL) there may be some risk that reinjection may cause mine water heads to approach the surface (depending on the transmissivity of the workings). “Open loop with discharge” may be more feasible for areas with very shallow mine water (0 m - 20 m BGL), but may require additional permitting (discharge consents) and available land for treatment depending on water chemistry. Areas shaded blue (20 m - 60 m BGL) correlate with deeper mine water heads which are most suited to the ‘open-loop with reinjection’ configuration. Both configurations are presented in Walls et al. (2022) - https://doi.org/10.3390/en14196215. Depths greater than 60 m BGL are not included since they indicate situations which would face excessive pumping costs.</p>

<p>The LGBF reflects a commitment by SOLACE (Scotland) and COSLA to develop better measurement and comparable data in order to help councils improve services, target resources to areas of greatest impact and enhance public accountability.</p>
<p>Since 2010-11, all Scottish local authorities have worked together to report standard information on the services they provide. This information takes the form of indicators that measure aspects of performance (for example, how much a service costs per user or how satisfied local people are with a service) across all areas of local government activity.</p>
<p>The LGBF provides high-level information designed to encourage councils to examine why variations in cost and performance are occurring between similar councils. The framework itself does not supply the answers. That happens as councils engage with each other to ‘drill down’ and explore why these variations are happening (see information on ‘family groups’ below).</p>
<p>Publication of the LGBF forms part of each council’s statutory public performance reporting.</p>

Users of this data should not assume this data is totally accurate and should consult the specific local authority for more detail before making any decisions</em></p>\n<p>A TPO is made by the Local Authority, under Section 160 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997, and within the procedures set out in the Town and Country Planning (Tree Preservation Order and Trees in Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Regulations 1975-1984. They are made to protect individual trees, groups of trees or woodlands which have particular amenity value, make a significant contribution to the landscape or townscape or because there may be a potential threat to the trees. Deciding which trees qualify to become protected the local authority must ensure that the trees contribute to the amenity and attractiveness of an area and be under threat in some way. Either individual specimens or groups can be protected in a single Order. There are no guidelines on which species of tree can be included in an Order.</p>\n<p>The process starts with a Provisional Order, this is served on the owner of the land and comes into effect immediately. Once confirmed, the TPO will remain indefinitely and are recorded in the Land Register of Scotland. They then become legal burdens on the land occupied by present and future owners so that when the land is sold on, the title passes on with the TPO.</p>\n<p>Some local authorities capture polygons of tree preservation areas. Others will identify actual trees as point TPOs. Several LAs capture both. We have initially created two separate layers - point and polygon, to represent TPOs. This may show duplication where a point falls within a polygon. We may adapt this rationale and methodology in due course as we know that there is discrepancy with Registers of Scotland's TPO data.</p>", "organization": "Highland Council", "original_dataset_link": "https://data.spatialhub.scot/dataset/tree_preservation_orders-hi", "records": null, "resources": [{"format": "OTHER", "name": "Tree Preservation Orders Highland (from THCEU AGOL)", "url": "https://services-eu1.arcgis.com/tc4hh050NPZgWq0B/arcgis/rest/services/Tree_Preservation_Orders_-_open_data/FeatureServer/0/query?outFields=*&where=1%3D1"}], "schema": "default", "title": "Tree Preservation Orders - Highland"}
