As part of our day-to-day operations we have to create bespoke software to manage, manipulate and process spatial datasets. We plan to modify these scripts and host them on this page so they can be downloaded to use within your own GIS to increase efficiency when working with GIS data. We have also attached over useful links that will aid in the day to day collection of data.
:: Ordnance Survey 100km tile lookupFollow the link to the download location of a 100km grid tile lettering lookup table:: JNCC Phase 1 HandbookFollow the link to the JNCC website where you can download a pdf version of the Phase 1 handbook
:: JNCC NVC User's HandbookFollow the link to the JNCC website where a pdf version of the handbook can be downloaded
:: Convert Postcode to Ordnance Survey grid coordinatesFollow the link to the streetmap website where you can convert postcodes to their equivalent OS coordinates. Please note that this will represent the OS coordinate of the centroid of the postcode and so not reflect the exact location.
:: Convert between degrees, minutes, seconds and Ordnance Survey grid referencesFollow the link to the Ordnance Survey website where you can convert data collected in degrees to their equivalent OS coordinates.
:: Weather - MetcheckFollow the link to Metcheck, which in our experience offers the most accurate weather forecasts.
:: Met Office - InventSee how the Met Office are looking to visualise data - it is a bit slow at the moment but is quite accurate in near term accuracy.
:: Natural England Protected Species informationFollow the link to the Natural England website showing information on species legislation, including EU protected species information.
:: South Pennine Moors GeoNetworkThe South Pennine Moors GeoNetwork is a web-based spatial data catalogue which provides a centralised portal for the region where spatial information relating to the uplands in the South Pennine Moors can be stored and share.
