This dataset is now Static and won’t be updated. However, this dataset should still be used for information on permits that were historic before came under EPR regulations.


This dataset should be used in conjunction with the Historic Landfill Sites points dataset (NRW_DS125453), which is the most comprehensive dataset for recently expired, surrendered, or revoked landfill sites.


Historic Landfill Sites is a spatial (polygon) dataset. These are landfill sites which have been taken off the Authorised Landfill Sites when the waste licence status changes to either:


- Licence expired: Some licences issued under the Control of Pollution Act 1974 were time limited and expired on the date specified in the licence.

- Licence Revoked: Whereby the licence has been entirely revoked and is no longer in force; or

- Licence Surrendered: Operator has successfully surrendered the licence which is no longer in force.


Under the Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure) Order 1995 Local Planning Authorities have to consult with the former Environment Agency Wales, now part of Natural Resources Wales, about all applications they receive to develop land within 250 metres of landfill sites (including any land that has been used as a landfill site within the past 30 years or is likely to be used as one in the near future). The Historic Landfill dataset was created to help fulfil our statutory responsibility to Local Planning Authorities by supplying information on the risks posed by landfill sites for development within 250m.


The data is the most comprehensive and consistent national historic landfill dataset and defines the location of, and provides specific attributes for, known historic (closed) landfill sites, i.e. sites where there is no PPC permit or waste management licence currently in force. This includes sites that existed before the waste licensing regime and sites that have been licensed in the past but where this licence has been revoked, ceased to exist or surrendered and a certificate of completion has been issued.

Mae Safleoedd Tirlenwi Hanesyddol yn set ddata ofodol. Mae'r rhain yn safleoedd tirlenwi sydd wedi cael eu cymryd oddi ar y Safleoedd Tirlenwi Awdurdodedig pan fydd statws y drwydded gwastraff yn newid naill ai i:


- Drwydded wedi darfod: Roedd rhai trwyddedau o dan Ddeddf Rheoli Llygredd 1974 yn gyfyngedig o ran amser ac yn darfod ar ddyddiad a bennwyd yn y drwydded.


- Trwydded wedi'i dirymu: Lle mae trwydded wedi cael ei dirymu'n llwyr ac nid yw mewn grym mwyach; neu


- Trwydded wedi'i hildio: Mae'r gweithredwr wedi ildio'r drwydded yn llwyddiannus ac nad yw mewn grym bellach.

Lineage

The original boundaries of these sites comes from the paper permits, which are now digitised from a base scale of 1:10,000 and an associated attribute table comprising 34 fields. The polygons and attributes describe where the sites were located, when they were used, who used them and what was deposited. This means there are name and address fields, licensee and operator information, licence issue and surrender dates, first and last input dates, and waste types, together with some historical comments.


Pre 1996 landfill sites data was managed and collated by Local Authorities, after this duty was then transferred to Environment Agency, and was taken over by NRW in 2013.


INFORMATION WARNING: Before 1996 all landfill sites data was managed and collated by Local Authorities. We therefore can't guarantee the quality and accuracy of individual historic landfill records up to this date.
