Background information

Each planning consideration we work on passes through the stages of our design process, where we research and answer specific questions to help us collect more information.

Backlog

  • Who asked for 'Hedgerows' data?

  • What is the driver for the request?

  • Which 2024 focus area does the request support?

Screen

  • What is the 'Hedgerows' consideration?

  • Is there legislation that defines 'Hedgerows'?

  • Who, in law, is responsible for the planning consideration or makes decisions about 'Hedgerows'?

  • Which organisations do we think should publish the data?

  • Is the Hedgerows a trigger?

  • Is the Hedgerows something to consult during plan making?

  • Is there any Hedgerows data already available?

  • Do we think the data should come from a single source?

  • Will a data standard be required?

Research

  • Do we understand the lifecycle of a Hedgerows?

  • Do we understand how the data is created/produced?

  • Where will or should the data be used?

    • Local plans - Hedgerows are referenced a number of times in local plans, so we think that this consideration feeds into the process of creating a local plan as protected and important hedgerows should be factored in.

  • Who are the statutory consultees for Hedgerows?

  • Other than the statutory consultees who are the primary users of Hedgerows? How do we expect them to use Hedgerows?

  • What are the planning needs for this data?

  • Who are the types of users who might benefit from having access to Hedgerows data?

  • What are some potential uses of Hedgerows data?

  • What's the value of adding Hedgerows data to the platform?

  • From what we have learnt so far are there any risks to making Hedgerows data available?
