Business rates

Author: Wakefield Metropolitan District Council / Revenues and Benefits Service

Last updated: 2021-03-08

Licence: UK Open Government Licence (OGL v3)

Business Rates (National Non-Domestic Rates) are a Government tax on all commercial property.  Business Rates are payable on most non-domestic property. If a property is used both for living accommodation and running a business, for example a public house or a shop with a flat above, then both Council Tax and Business Rates will normally be payable.
This open dataset is a comprehensive list of all current non-domestic (business) rates accounts. It includes all accounts, including sole traders, as well as LTD and PLC organisations and non-LTD or PLC organisations such as Council properties liable for non-domestic rates.

Environmental Service requests

Author: Leeds City Council / Leeds City Council

Last updated: 2021-03-08

Licence: UK Open Government Licence (OGL v3)

This data set lists a number of services carried out by officers at Leeds City Council by date and location. These include responding to litter and noise complaints, reports of lost, found and stray dogs as well as fly tipping, graffiti and dog fouling amongst others. Column heading descriptions
RECEIVED: Date when the Service Request was first raised SRRECTYPE: Code for the description (below) SR TYPE DESC: Description of the Service Request PC: Postcode sector for the location of the Service Request WARD: Council ward which the Service Request refers to COMPLETED: Date when the Service Request was fulfilled CLOSED: Date when the Service Request case was closed on the system
Please note
Pro-active waste removal includes a combination of fly-tipped waste and side waste (excess household collection waste left on the kerbside rather than in wheelie bins). As such it can’t be used as an accurate reflection of absolute fly tipping figures in Leeds. To address this issue we are in the process of making changes to how we capture data so that we can identify side waste and remove them from future fly tipping figures. Additionally, in recent years we have made a number of improvements to how we capture pro-active fly tipping data which has resulted in greater numbers being record. It is therefore not possible to use pro-active fly tipping data to accurately reflect fly-tipping trends. The best indicator of trends is “Confirmed fly tips” as we have consistently collected this information in the same way which facilitates year on year comparison.
Some records use the Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN) to locate the ward. In a small number of cases this can result in the wrong ward being reported. This only occurs in relation to Service Requests on streets where the street UPRN is located in a different ward. This is not the case where Service Requests are made for a specific buildings. It should be noted that the number of these cases is very small and it is felt that as there will be discrepancies across all wards, the data still provides a balanced picture. Where occurrences of fly tipping occur on land, e.g. in the middle of a field, a ward code may not be available due to the way the information has been historically recorded. 
This dataset includes daytime noise nuisance reports (08:00 - 18:00). Out of hours (18:00 - 03:30) reports can be found on the Noise nuisance - out of hours dataset: d in the service requests dataset: https://datamillnorth.org/dataset/noise-nuisance-out-of-hours

Houses in multiple occupation licence register

Author: Leeds City Council / Leeds City Council

Last updated: 2021-03-04

Licence: UK Open Government Licence (OGL v3)

The Housing in Multiple Occupation (HMO) licence register shows if a landlord has been issued with a HMO licence for his/her property and the expiry date of the licence. New licence applications will not appear on the register until they have been processed and issued. Landlords of properties issued with HMO licences must display a copy of their licence in a prominent position in the licensed premises. It is an offence for a person to have control of, or manage a licensable HMO without a licence or without applying for a licence. If you are a managing agent DO NOT engage in any business activity with an unlicensed landlord. You may be committing an offence and could face prosecution. Contact us
If you have any queries in relation to a property which has been licensed, or which you feel should be licensed, please contact the HMO Licensing Team on 0113 3784698 or email: HMO.Team@leeds.gov.uk.

Public health funerals

Author: Wakefield Metropolitan District Council / Wakefield Council

Last updated: 2021-03-01

Licence: UK Open Government Licence (OGL v3)

Under the Public Health (Control of Diseases) Act 1984, we have a statutory duty to make arrangements for the funeral of any person who has died or is found dead in the Wakefield District, where it appears that no suitable funeral arrangements have been made, or are being made.
Before arranging a person’s funeral we will make enquiries as to the existence of a will, any relatives who are able to deal with the arrangements, or funds to pay for the funeral. In some cases this will include making a search of the deceased’ s house.
In cases where we have arranged the funeral of a person whose finances we have managed, and there is no will, no known next of kin and there are funds remaining in the deceased person’s estate following payment of funeral expenses, the estate will be referred to The Treasury Solicitor who administers the estates of persons who die intestate without next of kin.
The Treasury Solicitor then administers the estate of the deceased person and publishes such cases on their website. All information that may be disclosed by the council pursuant to a request made under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOI) in relation to a deceased person is available from the Treasury Solicitor’ s website https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/bona-vacantia

The Leeds City Council Annual Travel to Work Survey 2020 ran between 15th October and 15th November 2020. The survey was moved from its traditional spring timeframe as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and related lockdowns. As with previous years the survey ran via iTrace utilising the established database of businesses, organisations and schools. To reflect the substantial changes the pandemic has had on businesses across the city, the survey included questions to gauge how mode of travel has changed from Pre-Covid times to current arrangements. The survey also included a series of questions related to car parking.   The survey received 8738 responses, made up of 4653 business responses, 2935 Leeds City Council employees and 1411 from schools. The number of responses is substantially lower than previous years. A number of businesses remain closed, and although the survey was launched when a tiered system was in place, a national lockdown was announced on 31st October with all non-essential activities curtailed.

Distribution Future Energy Scenarios - DFES 2020
Northern Powergrid's electricity distribution network is key to achieving decarbonisation goals in the northeast of England, Yorkshire, and parts of Lincolnshire. We are therefore presenting our Distribution Future Energy Scenarios (DFES) using an open data approach. Your feedback will help us to plan our network for the future developments in our region and to deliver the services and infrastructure required to fulfil the ambitions and plans of our regional stakeholders. Our Distribution Future Energy Scenarios (DFES) 2020 show our predictions under a net zero early scenario we developed in response to stakeholder feedback as part of our Emerging Thinking earlier this year; and also four scenarios representing a regional interpretation of National Grid's GB Future Energy Scenarios, found here. The DFES data available below provides our forecasts down to primary substation level. We have provided a geo-spatial tool to help visualise these values both at a primary substation and Local Authority level. During the first quarter of 2020 we are seeking feedback on the forecasts presented and two feedback forms can be downloaded below. We will use your feedback to help inform our view of how we can best develop our network. The parameters for which we are sharing our forecasts are fully explained in the DFES document downloadable below. The data itself can be downloaded on a local authority basis as well as for all of our primary electricity substations, major sites (bulk supply points), grid supply points and as an overall view for Northern Powergrid. Available data includes the following key DFES 2020 parameters but we will continue to load new parameters too as and when we find out that they are of interest to you:-
Low Carbon Technologies: Electric Vehicles (number); Heat Pumps (number); Domestic photovoltaic installed capacity (MW)
Energy consumption: Domestic underlying energy consumption (MWh); Industrial and commercial underlying energy consumption (MWh); Total energy consumption including electric vehicles and heat pumps (MWh)
Generation: Large solar generation installed capacity (MW); Wind generation installed capacity (MW); Other generation installed capacity (MW); Energy storage installed capacity (MW)

Wakefield Council pay multiple, defined as the ratio between the highest paid taxable earnings for the given year (including base salary, variable pay, bonuses, allowances and the cash value of any benefits-in-kind) and the median earnings figure of the whole of the authority’s workforce.
The measure:

covers all elements of remuneration that can be valued (eg. all taxable earnings for the given year, including base salary, variable pay, bonuses, allowances and the cash value of any benefits-in-kind)
uses the median earnings figure as the denominator, which should be that of all employees of the local authority on a fixed date each year, coinciding with reporting at the end of the financial year, and
excludes changes in pension benefits, which due to their variety and complexity cannot be accurately included in a pay multiple disclosure.

Brownfield land register

Author: Leeds City Council / Leeds city Council

Last updated: 2021-01-14

Licence: UK Open Government Licence (OGL v3)

Leeds  City Council was selected as a pilot authority  for the Government's brownfield land register project to help lead the way in bringing forward previously developed land for new homes.
The Council worked with the Department for Communities and Local Government to help inform guidance on the operation of the brownfield registers. The registers will help house builders identify suitable sites quickly, speeding up the construction of new homes. The government has pledged to get planning permission in place on 90% of suitable brownfield sites for housing. To help achieve this goal, the government is to enable ‘permission in principle’ to be granted for housing-led development sites listed on new brownfield registers as part of the recent Housing and Planning Act 2016.
The Council will have the final say on which sites are on the register and which sites will have permission in principle. When deciding on which sites to include in the register, the Council will consider the housing growth ambitions of the Core Strategy and Site Allocations Plan. 
 As part of pilot project, the Council put together a register of suitable sites with a total capacity of over 30,000 new homes sourced from the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA). The new formal requirement is for the register  to be kept in two parts.  The Council has produced a formal Part 1 register and the accompanying map of sites is published before the annual 31 December deadline, this will be reviewed at least once a year. The map of sites is hosted 
here

.

Part 2 allows the Council to select sites from Part 1 and grant Permission in Principle (PIP) for housing-led development, after undertaking necessary requirements for publicity, notification and consultation. Entry onto Part 1 of the register does not guarantee that this site will progress onto Part 2 of the register or receive planning permission. Preparatory work on Part 2 commenced in 2018 and will continue in early 2019.
The Council is welcoming comments from the public on the sites included in the register and asking landowners to put forward sites for consideration in the future register. The sites must be previously developed and able to accommodate 5 or more dwellings or be at least 0.25 hectares in size.
If you would like to submit a site to the next register that you think could be developed for housing, please send details of the location and availability of the site including an outline plan to  brownfieldlandregister@leeds.gov.uk .

The ‘My Health, My School’ (MHMS) annual school survey is a free pupil survey available for pupils in Years 5, 6, 7, 9 and 11 as well as for pupils attending any of our Specialist Inclusive Learning Centres (SILCs) and post-16 settings in Leeds. The survey gathers important pupil perception data and measures health behaviours contributing to school improvement by providing instant data for schools across a range of key areas including Healthy Eating, Physical Activity, PE and Sport, Drugs, Alcohol and Tobacco, Sexual Health, Social, Emotional and Mental Health, Safety and Anti-bullying.
As a direct result of the Coronavirus pandemic, and subsequent school closures on 20 th March 2020, the number of survey responses for 2019-20 was significantly reduced. A total of 5,307 responses were received from 37 Primary schools, 9 Secondary schools; 1 SILC and 9 Post-16 departments as well as Leeds City College
Where there are blank sections in the data it is because those questions have not been asked to those year groups.

Fixed Penalty Notices (FPN)

Author: Leeds City Council / Leeds City Council

Last updated: 2020-11-26

Licence: UK Open Government Licence (OGL v3)

This dataset shows where fixed penalty notices have been issued by Leeds City Council. It shows the amount of fine issued, how much was paid or whether it was cancelled. Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) are served when offenders fail to comply with a notice that has been served, e.g. waste in gardens, fly-tipping, littering, dog fouling etc. Fines are either served on the spot or by post. Column heading descriptions
FPN SERVED: Date when the FPN was first issued SRRECTYPE: Code for the description (below) SR TYPE DESC: Description of the Fixed Penalty Notice FPN TYPE: Code which highlights the piece of legislation which the FPN relates to (see Legislation table) TYPE DESC: Description of the piece of legislation that the FPN has been raised against (see Legislation table) WARD: Council ward where the FPN was issued PC: Postcode sector where the FPN was issued FINE_DUE: The value of the FPN (see Discounts table) FPN PAID: The actual value of the FPN paid (see Discounts table) FPN PAID DATE: Date when the FPN was paid (see Discounts table) PROSECUTION: Whether a court case has been launched as a result of non-payment FPN CANCELLED: If agreed, date when the FPN was cancelled
Please note
Some records use the Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN) to locate the ward. In a small number of cases this can result in the wrong ward being reported. This only occurs in relation to Service Requests on streets where the street UPRN is located in a different ward. This is not the case where Service Requests are made for a specific buildings. It should be noted that the number of these cases is very small and it is felt that as there will be discrepancies across all wards, the data still provides a balanced picture. Where occurrences of fly tipping occur on land, e.g. in the middle of a field, a ward code may not be available due to the way the information has been historically recorded. 
Other information
Discounts: These are available to encourage people to pay promptly within 10 days. After this time the full amount is due, but all fines have to be paid within 14 days. On some fines no discount can be offered. See the Discounts table for more information.
Prosecutions: If the fines are not paid after 14 days, a reminder letter is normally sent out (which is not a statutory requirement, but a service provided by Leeds City Council). Deferred payments for people on certain benefits who may need longer to pay the fines are also offered, but proof needs to be provided first. After a reminder is sent, if the payment is not made, a case for prosecution is then prepared and the details are passed over to the council’s Legal team.
Automated dataset
This dataset is automatically updated on the 1st of each month. The data contained within will periodically transfer to the historic dataset to aid uploading.
