Significance of the Landscape
Norfolk Coast AONB Management Plan 2014-19 Supporting Information The significance of the Norfolk Coast landscape Summarised from 'The Norfolk Coast Landscape: An assessment of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' (Countryside Commission, CCP 486, 1995). This document is now out of print and not available in digital format, but a copy is available at the Norfolk Coast Partnership office if you wish to read it in full. AONB designation Judging the importance of a particular area of landscape is no easy matter. The importance and value attached to the Norfolk Coast landscape has already been reflected by its designation, in 1968, as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) as well as by the separate definition in 1975 of a more limited part of the area as a Heritage Coast. It is helpful to consider the area's special qualities under four main headings: ● the value of the landscape as part of the national and regional landscape resource , by virtue of its rarity or representativeness, and including comparison with other areas of similar landscape character and with the surrounding landscape; ● the scenic qualities of the landscape, including the particular combination of landscape elements, aesthetic qualities, local distinctiveness and 'sense of place'; ● evidence about how the landscape is perceived and valued by the general public and by writers and others who may have been inspired by it; ● other special values attached to the landscape including historical and cultural associations and special conservation interests, relating to features of outstanding nature conservation or archaeological interest. Summarised below are the ways in which the Norfolk Coast demonstrates these qualities to an extent that makes the area a truly outstanding landscape. -
Statute Law Repeals: Consultation Paper Repeal of Turnpike Laws
Statute Law Repeals: Consultation Paper Repeal of Turnpike Laws SLR 02/10: Closing date for responses – 25 June 2010 BACKGROUND NOTES ON STATUTE LAW REPEALS (SLR) What is it? 1. Our SLR work involves repealing statutes that are no longer of practical utility. The purpose is to modernise and simplify the statute book, thereby reducing its size and thus saving the time of lawyers and others who use it. This in turn helps to avoid unnecessary costs. It also stops people being misled by obsolete laws that masquerade as live law. If an Act features still in the statute book and is referred to in text-books, people reasonably enough assume that it must mean something. Who does it? 2. Our SLR work is carried out by the Law Commission and the Scottish Law Commission pursuant to section 3(1) of the Law Commissions Act 1965. Section 3(1) imposes a duty on both Commissions to keep the law under review “with a view to its systematic development and reform, including in particular ... the repeal of obsolete and unnecessary enactments, the reduction of the number of separate enactments and generally the simplification and modernisation of the law”. Statute Law (Repeals) Bill 3. Implementation of the Commissions’ SLR proposals is by means of special Statute Law (Repeals) Bills. 18 such Bills have been enacted since 1965 repealing more than 2000 whole Acts and achieving partial repeals in thousands of others. Broadly speaking the remit of a Statute Law (Repeals) Bill extends to any enactment passed at Westminster. Accordingly it is capable of repealing obsolete statutory text throughout the United Kingdom (i.e. -
