SNPA Conservation Area (snpa_conservation_areas)

Defined Conservation Areas in Snowdonia National Park, the limit of each Conservation Area is recorded as a polygon. Conservation Areas are areas of special architectural or historic interest. Local planning authorities have a statutory duty to identify and designate such areas, and to preserve and enhance the areas while undertaking planning duties. They have special protection in planning law that controls the demolition of unlisted buildings and works to trees, restricts permitted development rights on dwelling houses, and tightens the regulations on advertising.

SNPA Section 3 Coastal Areas (snpa_s3coast)

Defined Section 3 - Coastal areas in Snowdonia National Park, the limit of each coastal area is recorded as a polygon. Section 3 of the Wildlife and Countryside (Amendment) Act 1985 placed a responsibility on each of the National Parks of England and Wales to prepare a map showing those areas of mountain, moor, heath, woodland, down, cliff or foreshore, the natural beauty of which the Authority considers it is particularly important to conserve. The map gives an overall impression of the distribution of coastal habitats which are considered particularly important to retain. The conservation and enhancement of the coastline is central to the National Park purposes. The boundary of Snowdonia National Park corresponds with the High Water Mark but for the purposes of this exercise all coastal and inter-tidal areas have been considered for inclusion of in the map whether they are within or immediately adjacent to the Park area.

SNPA Tree Preservation Order (snpa_tpo)

The dataset records the extent and location of protected trees within Snowdonia National Park. Individual trees are represented by a point and groups of trees are represented by a polygon. Local Planning Authorities have specific powers to protect individual trees, groups of trees, and woodlands if their removal or changes to them would have significant impact on the local environment and its enjoyment by the public. The legal mechanism is called a ˜Tree Preservation Order™ (TPO). Work to a tree protected by a TPO is prohibited without prior permission from the Local Planning Authority, although there are a number of exceptions to this. In Snowdonia National Park, Snowdonia National Park Authority is the Local Planning Authority.
