Introduction The Environment Agency’s principal aim is to "protect or enhance the environment, taken as a whole and to contribute toward achieving sustainable development." It cannot do this on its own. The Agency needs to develop appropriate relationships, such as partnerships and voluntary agreements, with all other sectors in the wider Community to work toward this end. The predecessor bodies of the Agency, the National Rivers Authority, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Pollution, Waste Regulation Authorities and some parts of the Department o f the Environment have all engaged previously in a variety of activities with different organisations to the benefit of the environment. This will continue. The Portfolio is a collation of some of the "Partnership" arrangements that have been used to protect or enhance the environment and shows how the "Partnership in Environment Protection" initiative can be taken forward. ■’ ■ i Partnerships are applicable in all kinds of situations,j in all places and necessary if sustainable solutions are to be found to the many environmental problems with'which.the Agency and other Organisations are concerned. The Environment Agency’s work is divided into eight main functions: Flood Defence," Water Resources, Pollution Control, Waste Regulation, Fisheries, Navigation, Recreation and Conservation. This range of statutory functions provides scope for "added value" schemes, the Agency takes advantage of this opportunity and develops projects with the various sectors within the Community! to the benefit of the environment. i The projects [featured in the Portfolio demonstrate this ‘clearly. Those included are either recently completed, ongoing or planned to start in the very near future. These projects provide the opportunity for ownership, openness and participation with the Community and allow an innovative and flexible approach to be taken when addressing environmental problems. The Portfolio is designed to promote an even more proactive approach to "Partnership Working Arrangements" and serve as a record of projects within the Midlands Region. The Portfolio is in four sections, one for each of the Areas within the Midlands Region. It will be regularly updated and expanded upon as more partnership schemes are planned or completed.

Highley is a long settlement which is spread over a mile on the B4555 along the River Severn to the west. Highley began as a rural farming community, including an entry in the Domesday Book as Hughli , named after the lord of the manor. Later the area became a significant area for stone quarrying, which provided some of the stone for Worcester Cathedral. Coal mining began in the area in the Middle Ages but the formation of the Highley Mining Company in 1874 saw the expansion of the village. The mine closed in 1969 and is now home to the Severn Valley Country Park.

A ‘rural settlement’ is defined as a settlement that has a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable year in question. The Non-Domestic Rating (Rural Settlements) (England) (Amendment) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/3176) prescribes the following hereditaments as being eligible with effect from 1st April 2010:- Sole food shop within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole general store within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole post office within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole public house within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Sole petrol filling station within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Section 47 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 provides that a billing authority may grant discretionary relief for hereditaments to which mandatory relief applies, and additionally to any hereditament within a rural settlement which is used for purposes which are of benefit to the local community. Sections 42A and 42B of Schedule 1 of the Local Government and Rating Act 1997 dictate that each Billing Authority must prepare and maintain a Rural Settlement List, which is to identify any settlements which:- a) Are wholly or partly within the authority’s area; b) Appear to have a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable financial year in question; and c) Are, in that financial year, wholly or partly, within an area designated for the purpose.
