Historical landfill (LA/mapping)
Layer name: Waste_and_Landfill-Historical_Landfill_Local_Authority_Mapping
This is a polygon based dataset of historical landfill sites across England, Scotland and Wales that have been digitised from historical Ordnance Survey mapping (1:1,250, 1:2,500, 1:10,560 and 1:10,000 scales), by Groundsure consultants during the report writing process or additional consulting work, and records historically provided by clients and partners (and digitised by Groundsure).

Historical landfill (EA/NRW records)
Layer name: Waste_and_Landfill-Historical_Landfill_EA_NRW
This is a polygon based dataset of known historical (closed) landfill sites (e.g. sites where there is no PPC permit or waste management licence currently in force) across England and Wales. This includes sites that existed before the waste licensing regime and sites that have been licensed in the past but where a licence has been revoked, ceased to exist or surrendered and a certificate of completion has been issued. The dataset includes all relevant historic information for the sites that both local authorities, the Environment Agency and National Resources Wales have collected over the years.

Historical waste sites
Layer name: Waste_and_Landfill-Historical_Waste_Sites_GS

Records may also be sourced from Local Authority planning applications supplied by SeracTech, previously supplied by Glenigan. Records will contain details of the associated planning application where applicable.
