Dormouse Licence Return Data (1992 - 2006)

This dataset comprises of a collation of records from Countryside Council for Wales' (CCW) and Natural Resources Wales' (NRW) licence returns for work carried out on dormouse sites across Wales. The collation was created to add to the dormouse distribution in Wales, to collect relevant data in once place and to mobilise records which may not otherwise be available. The dataset does not represent a systematic coverage of survey of Wales. The location of records is generally random, depending on the requirements of the licence holders.

Lineage

Records from licence return forms have been collated by Natural Resources Wales' and inputted into Recorder 6. Licence return forms are completed by licence holders as a condition of receiving the licence. Licences are issued to organisations and individuals to permit activities which would otherwise be unlawful, such as deliberately capturing or disturbing dormice, or damaging or destroying their breeding sites and resting places. Licences are generally issued for the purposes of survey, monitoring and research, or for building and other development work. Records are provided by licence holders, who have very variable recording ability. However, they have been verified by Natural Resources Wales to delete or correct any obvious errors. Some more recent mammal licence return data has been digitised by Cofnod. Cofnod act as data custodian and hold the top copy of this licence return data, not the data held in Recorder 6 which is managed by NRW.
