Rockingham Forest 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.

  • 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.
