    I7R INSTITUTE FOR PUBLIC POLICY RESEARCH 30/32 Southampton Street, London WC2E 7RA Tel: 071-379 9400 Fax:071-497 0373 The Institute for Public Policy Research is an independent charity whose purpose is to contribute to public understanding of social, economic and political questions through research, discussion and publication. It was established in 1988 by leading figures in the academic, business and trade union community to provide an alternative to the free market think-tanks. IPPR’s agenda reflects the challenges facing Britain: changes in the European continent and the European Community; the threats posed by uncontrolled industrial growth to the world’s ecological balance; the impact of new technologies and scientific developments; changing social and economic relationships between women and men; the need to decentralise power to the regions and nations of Britain. Besides its programme of publication, IPPR also provides a forum for political and trade union leaders, academic experts and those from business, finance, government and the media, bringing people together from throughout Britain and the European Community to discuss issues of common concern.

The Limestone Way is a waymarked long-distance route Castleton which goes south from the village of Castleton in the Hope Valley, through dramatic dales and green rolling landscape, to Rocester on the banks of the River Dove. Enjoy Pages 4-5 Peak Forest this trail as a four or five day walk, taking in the spectacular scenery and views along Mount Pleasant Farm the way and passing through several picturesque villages. The white limestone rocks of the dales and drystone walls are the remains of a vast tropically warm sea of the Carboniferous period some 330 million years ago. Here, by Pages 6-7 water and other natural forces, the overlying gritstones and shales have worn away to expose rocks which are the remains of countless millions of tiny creatures which lived Miller’s Dale in that ocean. These limestone uplands and dales were among the first places to be settled by man and they are rich in prehistoric remains. Today most of the Pages 8-9 meadowland, except in the gorge-like dales, has been improved for livestock rearing and the sight of herds of black and white dairy cattle is typical of the area.

  • 1 Introduction: the Purpose of This Document
    East Midlands Regional Planning Guidance Annual Monitoring Statement 2002/03 December 2003 DTZ Pieda Consulting 10 Colmore Row BIRMINGHAM B3 2QD Foreword by the Regional Planning Body This is the second Annual Monitoring Statement for the East Midlands. It measures policies contained within draft revised Regional Planning Guidance (RPG8) (April 2003). It is the result over four months work by consultants DTZ Pieda, working in close consultation with Regional Planning Officer Groups, with the Regional Monitoring & Review Officer Group acting as the overall project steering group. Before appointing consultants the RPG Officer Groups agreed a set of CORE indicators based on policies contained within Regional Planning Guidance and CONTEXTUAL indicators to provide additional background information. The RPB then produced a set of questionnaires to collect this information from the relevant local authorities. Once appointed this information was passed to DTZ whose job it was to collate this information, gather additional information and, in conjunction with regional partners, set about analysing and comparing the data with that from the first (baseline) RPG8 Annual Monitoring Statement which was produced in March 2003. This final report therefore reports the state of the region in spatial planning terms after two years of monitoring RPG8 and forms a strong base to continue this work in the future as the indicator framework becomes more robust and clear trends begin to emerge. Included in this report DTZ have also made a number of recommendations to the RPB to assist spatial monitoring in the future. Their assessment of the adequacy of the current monitoring arrangements and indicator framework is based on their experience and efforts at collating and analysing the data, as well as examining the monitoring arrangements of other RPBs.
