Local Government Transparency Code Data

The data is published in line with the Council’s statutory requirements under the Local Government Transparency Code.

This data shows land and building assets owned by Nottingham City Council. This data is updated annually. 

See the table below for a description of the information in each column: 

Field Name(s) 

Description 

UPRN 

The unique property reference number (UPRN) uniquely identifies each property or land parcel. The UPRN is a 12-digit code assigned to a property by the local authority as part of the street naming and numbering process. 

Property Name & Address 

This is the common name used across Nottingham City. If the land or property has no unique name, a location description is used, such as “land at rear”. Nottingham City uses the street name found in the address gazetteer. 

UK Postcode 

The postcode as defined in the postal address file for any given address.

GeoX and GeoY 

The GeoX and GeoY are the map reference coordinates; these refer to the location of the land and property and are usually the centre point of the asset location (the centroid). The map references OSGB36 - version of northing and easting. Further information can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordnance_Survey_National_Grid. 

This resource is licensed under the Open Government Licence (Ordnance Survey-derived data). 

As GeoX and GeoY are derived from Ordnance Survey maps, there are licensing restrictions on using the northing, easting, and UPRN values.

It should be noted that there is no formal appeal procedure for any of the above offences, the only way in which to appeal the issuing of the FPN is via the Magistrates Court. However, Nottingham City Council is willing to consider any mitigating circumstances which are received.

In regard to Fixed Penalty Notices being cancelled there are a variety of reasons e.g. due to mitigating circumstances provided by the appellant e.g. for medical reasons.

Where a case is shown to be written off this is due to the case being proven at the Magistrates Court.

This data shows notices and warnings (where required by statute) served by Nottingham City Council (specifically its Environmental Health and Safer Places team). Prior to 2019, the datasets provide details of noise abatement notices, however since 2019 this has now been expanded to include all legal warnings and notices. This data is updated annually.

It is possible, with reasonable certainty, to cross-reference this data with Statutory Nuisance investigation data to identify the nuisance/complaint type and the Premises type. Note: Where a single notice has been served on an address on a given date the nuisance 'author'/source may be either a business premises or a residential property with a single occupant.

Where two Notices are served on an address on a given date it is likely to be a residential property with two adult occupants, or a business. Where multiple Notices (3 or more) are served on an address on a given date it is likely to be for a nuisance from a property with multiple occupants e.g. a student household.

The data prior to 2019 is only for Statutory Noise Nuisance Abatement Notices. The data up to and including 2019 is provided on a calendar year basis from 2008. From 2021 published Legal Warnings and Notices data includes the preceding 15 full months data thus covering the previous calendar year and previous financial year. From 2023 this data covers the previous financial year (1 April – 31 March).

Nottingham conducts nitrogen dioxide monitoring as part of the Environment Act 1995: Part 3 Local Air Quality Management process: to determine compliance with the National Air Quality Objectives, and check that measures to reduce emissions of nitrogen dioxide are working.

Nitrogen dioxide monitoring (non-automatic)

This dataset contains monitoring information and Eastings and Northings for Nottingham City Council's (monthly exposed) nitrogen dioxide diffusion tube monitoring programme. All values are expressed as ug/m3.

Monitoring is carried out by exposing a grid coated with a chemical sensitive to nitrogen dioxide for a period of a month. The tube is then returned to the supplying laboratory for analysis. Tube data is provided 15 months in arrears due to the need for a correction factor to be applied by comparing data between a real time analyser and three collocated diffusion tubes.

 Nitrogen dioxide monitoring (automatic)

This dataset contains monitoring data from Nottingham City Council's nitrogen dioxide automatic monitoring equipment located at Carter Gate, St Andrew's Road (both within Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) 2) and Lace Street (within AQMA 3).

Monitoring is carried out continuously throughout a 24-hour period (except for a daily automatic zero-span calibration check typically between 0100 and 0200, and a manual calibration performed once every two weeks). The monitoring data is reported as ratified data i.e. it has been 'scaled' using calibration data to ensure its accuracy. All values are expressed as ug/m3.

The UK Government Licensing Framework (UKGLF) provides a policy and legal overview of the arrangements for licensing the use and re-use of public sector information, both in central government and the wider public sector. It sets out best practice, standardises the licensing principles for government information, and recommends the Open Government Licence (OGL) as the default licence for public sector information. The OGL is an implied licence. By using information made available under the licence you indicate that you have accepted its terms and conditions. There is no need to register or formally apply for a licence.

You must use the following attribution statement to acknowledge the source of the information:

“Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence”
