</p><p>Contents of the dataset: </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p><p>The
dataset identifies areas approved by grant type. As the boundaries of
the scheme were never digitised, an approximation

polygon was created for each scheme. The approximation
is based on the Ordnance Survey grid reference held for each scheme;

this point location being buffered by a distance
proportional to the total area of the scheme.
