Since its inception the Charity has persistently and influentially worked to lift standards, develop training qualifications and build networks across the UK’s conservation, repair and maintenance (CRM) sector, estimated at over 40% of all construction industry activities. This has involved working partnerships with national agencies, professional and standard setting bodies, educational establishments and training interests. This study is directed towards a general audience and those wishing to increase their knowledge of The Potteries area, and its specific form and type of buildings in addition to assisting in providing a framework for carrying out similar regional studies.

Potteries and Churnet Valley Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment 1 2 3 White Paper , Biodiversity 2020 and the European Landscape Convention , we are North revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas East that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision- Yorkshire making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West 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 East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England 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 London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

This Canal gives you a real glimpse of what the canals offer, you have a stair case lock, lift bridges, mechanical and manual, a small aquaduct/viaduct, traveling at the top of a valley and then dropping into a valley, a river, 2 tunnels, not to mention the Steam Railway. The canal was built to carry limestone for the iron industry and flints for the pottery industry. It is still steeped in history, with fascinating industrial buildings visible along the Stoke section. Further along, you may see a steam train chugging along where the Churnet Valley Railway passes close to the canal. The outstanding scenery along the route means there is lots to see for boaters, walkers and cyclists.

Introduction 1.1 The National Planning Policy Framework requires the Council to produce a Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA). A SHLAA is a piece of evidence which will be used in the preparation of the Staffordshire Moorlands Site Allocations Document and the emerging Local Plan. The SHLAA identifies and assesses the availability, suitability and deliverability of that land as a potential housing site to meet the identified need for housing over the plan period. This evidence will help the Council understand what sites are theoretically available for housing development. The Council will use this information and other pieces of evidence to identify potential locations for housing to be allocated in the Site Allocations Document and the emerging Staffordshire Moorlands Local Plan. Scoping Report 1.2 A SHLAA Scoping Report was published in March 2007. This document set out the partners the Council would be working with to produce the SHLAA, the geographical areas to be covered, which sources of supply would be included, how the supply would be determined and how the Council would decide if the sites are genuinely available for development and are realistically developable in the short, medium and long term.

Cheddleton, Wetley Rocks and Werrington This product includes mapping licensed from Ordnance Survey with the permission of the Controller of Her Majesty’s Office © Crown copyright and/or database right 2010. All rights reserved. Licence number 100019422. Map 1: Cheddleton, Wetley & Werrington designated assets 1 Appendix 5: Cheddleton, Wetley Rocks and Werrington: Staffordshire Moorlands HEA 1.1 CWWHECZ 1 – South west of Werrington 1.1.1 Statement of heritage significance The zone covers 101ha and the land rises up from around 175m AOD in the west to over 245m AOD in the east. The historic landscape character is dominated by enclosure patterns exhibiting a largely irregular form, in the western portion and with a greater regularity in the east (cf. map 2). These differences are probably the result of the historic origins of the enclosure and/or periods of re-planning of field systems. These differences are also apparent on aerial photographs where more mature hedgerows including in-hedge trees dominate in the area of irregular enclosure where the majority of the historic field boundaries survive. In the eastern rectilinear fields the hedgerows are less distinct perhaps indicating single species hedgerows (such as hawthorn) or areas where historic hedgerows have been replaced by fencing during the late 20 th century. The irregular field pattern may be associated with the well defined earthworks which indicate the site of Simfields moat, a Scheduled Monument which lies across the western boundary of the zone (cf. maps 1 and 2) 1.
