  • 89: Northamptonshire Vales Area Profile: Supporting Documents
    National Character 89: Northamptonshire Vales Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 89: Northamptonshire Vales Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.

Local Government Reform Following the dire financial situation that Northamptonshire County Council found itself in last year and the issuing of a Section 114 notice severely constraining its expenditure, the Government has consulted on the proposal that local government in Northamptonshire should be re-structured into two unitary authorities. In early May the Secretary of State announced that, ‘in the best interests of the residents of Northamptonshire’ two brand new unitary Councils will be created on 1 April 2021 and Northamptonshire County Council and the existing district and borough councils will be abolished.
