This dataset was amalgamated, optimised and published by the Spatial hub.
The following quality assurance checks and corrections are carried out on the data:
- Polygons are not dissolved/ aggregated by key name and local authority
- The minimum polygon area allowed in the data is 25 square metres
- Checks for invalid geometry types
- The maximum angle for any spikes is 3 degrees
- Any duplicate geometry is removed from the data
- Duplicate key names for polygons are not removed
- Polygons with no key names are not removed
- Checks for basic geometry i.e. self-intersection
