Countryside Stewardship Woodland Subcompartments

<p>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.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p><p>Woodland is one of the scheme’s priorities and funding is available to: </p>
<p>
</p><p>- create new woodland </p>
<p>
</p><p>- support the preparation of management plans </p>
<p>
</p><p>- address tree health issues </p>
<p>
</p><p>- improve existing woodlands </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p><p>This
dataset contains the sub-compartments 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.

<p>
</p><p>There
are two spatial datasets associated with the CS for the 2015 grant
intake. These represent the Case Boundary and the

Sub-compartments that are
encapsulated by a case boundary.

</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p><p>The
spatial datasets are related within the CS database on a 'one to many'
basis. This reflects the fact that a single CS

case may have many
sub-compartments. Likewise, a single CS sub-compartment may have
several grant types applied to it.

</p><p>CS Sub-compartments </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p><p>Sub-compartments
are the smallest mapped unit of grant aided area under the CS.
Sub-compartments are aggregated up to Case

Boundaries,
and these boundaries are subsequently used to describe the overall
extent of the 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.

</p>
<p>

</p>

<p>

</p><p>All
sub-compartments for cases that have been approved (and were not
subsequently withdrawn without payment) for the 2015

CS intake
are contained in this dataset.
