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.

Villagers have supported the process of producing the Statement as they are interested in ensuring any future development in the village is of good design and complements the existing buildings and layout of the village. In order to ensure that everyone who wanted to be involved could make their input, workshops, a questionnaire, and consultation days have been held to ensure that the views of this document represent those of the village. All meetings have been well attended and nearly 50% of residents completed and returned the questionnaire. The V.D.S. was initiated by Farthingstone Parish Council and has been supported during its creation by Daventry District Council and Northamptonshire Action with Communities in Rural England (A.C.R.E.). Funding has been provided by grants from Farthingstone Parish Council, Awards for All and Daventry Area Committee of Northamptonshire County Council. Our aim in producing a V.D.S. is to ensure that when future planning decisions are being made, the local distinctiveness and character of the village are taken into account in the decision process. The recommendations in this Statement will be taken into account when planning decisions are being made.

  • 6.22 Figures 6 and 7 Demonstrates the General Pattern Emerging for The
    Integrated Approach to Sustainable Rural Planning in East Northamptonshire Countryside Agency - East Northamptonshire District Council Final Report - October 2005 6.22 Figures 6 and 7 demonstrates the general pattern emerging for the number of services a place has, in relation to how many people travel to that place to use the services/facilities, therefore we can start to draw up a ranking of service centres. This is developed further in chapter 7 of this report. A summary of the different travel patterns for each service/facility is outlined in the paragraphs below: Main food shopping at major supermarkets (Figure 8) • While all villages rely on larger urban centres outside the district for main food shopping, Oundle still remains a strong pull for all villages to the east of the case study area, which has the only supermarket in the case study area. 25% of the case study area use Oundle for its main food shopping. In addition, 33% of Oundle’s own population complete their main food shopping in the town. However, exceptions are in the 4 villages in the west, which lie on the A43 connecting Corby and Stamford, where residents shop for main food in these two centres. • Peterborough attracts the majority (34%) of shoppers from all villages, including residents from Oundle, except for the villages west of King’s Cliffe. • 89% of people travel by car, although the percentage is slightly less in Oundle, Upper and Lower Benefield, Southwick and Nassington. This is due to either local facilities, people using public transport or shopping via the internet.
