Themes: The Natural Environment

 

This parish contains some very special natural attributes that are extremely important not just at a county scale but also on a national scale.

The Natural Environment Theme supports the development of the Neighbourhood Plan by summarising the status and the evidence relating to the wider countryside of the parish. This covers the following subjects:

Green infrastructure including Statutory Designations such as AONB and SSSI’s

Biodiversity and Nature Reserves

Landscape Character

Land use and Agriculture

Water and flood risk

The Natural Environment Theme report can be viewed or downloaded here (click on the image below).

It proposes some key issues for consideration in any future development proposals arising from the Neighbourhood plan.
