The County Wildlife Polygon GIS layer shows the official County Wildlife Site boundaries, as designated by the County Wildlife Site Steering group (of which NCC is a partner). Planning decisions need to take account of these sites - so planners and highways designers etc. need access to the site boundaries. The dataset is integral to the work carried out in the Environment section of ETD. The attributes within the dataset are currently: The site reference number; the site name; and the hyperlink to the PDF of the official citation. The dataset is updated annually (unless exceptional circumstances), usually in April. This is officially via the Norfolk County Wildlife Site CD each year; the GIS datasets are then published internally for NCC users in Mapinfo .tab format and ESRI shapefiles. The dataset is also available via the NMB browser, including hyperlinks to the PDF citations.
