  • Settlement Hierarchy the Introduction to the Borough Set out in a Previous
    Settlement Hierarchy The introduction to the borough set out in a previous chapter outlines some of the issues arising from its rural nature i.e. the abundance of small villages and the difficulties in ensuring connectivity and accessibility to local services and facilities. The Plan also imposes a requirement to define the approach to development within other towns and in the rural areas to increase their economic and social sustainability. This improvement will be achieved through measures that: a. support urban and rural renaissance; b. secure appropriate amounts of new housing, including affordable housing, local employment and other facilities; and c. improve accessibility, including through public transport. Consequently, it is necessary to consider the potential of the main centres, which provide key services, to accommodate local housing, town centre uses and employment needs in a manner that is both accessible, sustainable and sympathetic to local character. Elsewhere within the rural areas there may be less opportunity to provide new development in this manner. Nevertheless, support may be required to maintain and improve the relationships within and between settlements that add to the quality of life of those who live and work there. Matters for consideration include the: a. viability of agriculture and other economic activities; b. diversification of the economy; c. sustainability of local services; and d. provision of housing for local needs. Policy LP02 Settlement Hierarchy (Strategic Policy) 1. The settlement hierarchy ranks settlements according to their size, range of services/facilities and their possible capacity for growth. As such, it serves as an essential tool in helping to ensure that: a.

  • Babingley Catchment Outreach Report-NGP
    THE BABINGLEY RIVER CATCHMENT Links between geodiversity and landscape - A resource for educational and outreach work - Tim Holt-Wilson Norfolk Geodiversity Partnership CONTENTS 1.0 Introduction 2.0 Landscape Portrait 3.0 Features to visit 4.0 Local Details 5.0 Resources 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Babingley River is a chalk river, of which there are more in England than any other country in the world. Chalk rivers are fed from groundwater sources, producing clear waters. Most of them have ‘winterbourne’ stretches in their headwaters, with intermittent or absent flow in summer. They have characteristic plant communities, and their gravelly beds, clear waters and rich invertebrate life support important populations of brown trout, salmon and other fish. The Babingley is the best example of a chalk river in west Norfolk. This report explains the links between geodiversity and the biological and cultural character of the river catchment. It provides a digest of information for education and interpretive outreach about this precious natural resource. Some specialist words are marked in blue and appear in the Glossary (section 5). 2.0 LANDSCAPE PORTRAIT 2.1 Topography and geology The Babingley River is a river in north-west Norfolk with a length of 19.6 km (12 miles). The river falls some 25 m (82 ft) from its headwaters at Flitcham to where it meets the sea at Wootton Marshes. This represents a mean fall of approximately 1.27 m (4.2 ft) per km. However this fall is mostly accomplished over a distance of 7.7 km upstream of Babingley Bridge (Castle Rising), at a steeper gradient of 3.24 m per km.
