Stage 1 will involve an initial screening the sites against the adopted Local Plan vision, objectives and the spatial strategies as well as key industry specific and major land use constraints for the purpose of identifying any red-flags that may significantly affect site suitability. The key policy considerations will act as the first ‘sieve’ – sites that are not in general conformity with these may not be subject to further assessment (as they would be unlikely to support delivery of the plan). Consultation responses from the Issues and Options stage (including the sites), development of the key policy considerations and the SA (and HRA where required) will be taken into consideration alongside results of the site assessments in determining which sites will be taken forward through the plan-making process. Only those sites taken forward will be subject to Stage 2 of the site assessment process. The results of the screening assessment are indicated by levels of compliance with the screening criterion, a key to the levels of compliance is outlined below. It should be noted that a screening result of a majority or all green flags does not mean that the site will automatically progress through the plan making process as an allocation, either in whole or in part. Sites taken forward will be subject to Stage 2 of the assessment process in order to determine which would be appropriate to accommodate the proposed development. Please note that all of the identified sites have been put forward for consideration by a landowner and/or the minerals industry and at the present time have no other planning status. Key to level of compliance: Green flag - Fully compliant / no constraints identified Yellow flag - Generally in compliance Red flag - Not compliant / constraints identified Stage 2 will involve a desktop assessment of the sites against environmental, social and economic criterion (based on the SA objectives) in order to provide an overview of the features and constraints present that may affect site suitability (Stage 2a) and so inform identification of the preferred site for inclusion in the Draft Plan document. This stage may also involve identification of site-specific avoidance and / or mitigation measures that may be required to reduce potentially adverse impacts to an acceptable level, as well as identification of potential cumulative impacts. Detailed investigation of specific constraints / issues will be undertaken where considered necessary (Stage 2b) alongside the preparation of the Final Plan document. The full site assessment methodology is available on the Councils website. MWLP Update Draft Plan – Technical Appendix (December 2015) 1 Desktop assessment Stage 2 will involve a desktop assessment of the sites against environmental, social and economic criterion in order to provide an overview of the features and constraints present that may affect site suitability and so inform identification of the preferred site for inclusion in the Draft Plan document. It should be noted that the assessment criteria will be further refined in line with development of the SA framework. This stage may also involve identification of site-specific avoidance and / or mitigation measures that may be required to reduce potentially adverse impacts to an acceptable level, as well as identification of potential cumulative impacts. Detailed investigation of specific constraints / issues that have been previously identified will be undertaken where considered necessary (Stage 2b) alongside the preparation of the Final Plan document. No weightings will be applied to the criterion as this implies that different indicators are directly comparable, allowing for ‘scores’ to be allocated and added together resulting in a sum total that would determine the best option. The constraints and issues presented by individual sites are complex in nature and require consideration on a site-by-site basis. Consultation responses from the Draft Plan stage (including the sites), development of the key policy considerations and the SA (and HRA where required) will be taken into consideration alongside results of the site assessments in determining which sites will be taken forward through the plan-making process to the Final Plan stage. Reasons for rejection of sites (from further consideration in the plan-making process) will be documented. Scale of impact Scale Definition Negligible So small or unimportant that it may safely be neglected or disregarded. Beneficial impact resulting in slight increase in quality or character enhancement. Slight adverse impact highly likely to be ameliorated by mitigation measures with Minor remaining residual impacts being negligible

This context appraisal, based on fieldwork and a study of the existing literature, expands on the particular features of the towns of Northampton, Daventry and Towcester and a number of surrounding villages. The section begins with an analysis of West Northamptonshire at the national and regional levels. It covers the geographical, historic, socio-economic and spatial features that shaped its development and led to the current conditions. This is followed by a review of each town, examining the typology of movement; the historic development; and the streetscape, townscape and architecture of the various areas within each town. Together these elements embody the local distinctiveness of Northampton, Daventry and Towcester and their surrounding villages. The information contained in this section is not only applicable to development within the WNDC’s boundary but can also be drawn upon in the consideration of new development within the

It is located in the East Midlands Region, and includes seven District and Borough Council Administrative Authorities. The greater part of the county retains a strong rural character, and comprises agricultural land and isolated villages, hamlets, and country estates. The landscape bears the marks of changes which have taken place over many hundreds of years, with evidence of agricultural improvement, transport infrastructure, settlement, industry, mining and woodland management.

  • Historic Landscape Charaterisation
    Appendix 6 Analysis – Enclosure Regular Enclosures in Hoggeston parish, Vale of Aylesbury Buckinghamshire Historic Landscape Characterisation Appendix 6 Introduction Enclosed land comprises the most extensive HLC type representing over 72% of the land total. Its main use is for agriculture, a large proportion being for the pasturing of sheep and cattle. The type has a significant impact on aspects of the social and cultural life of the county, where both its form and maintenance are defining characteristics of the aesthetic appeal of the landscape, and is by turn a major influence upon matters such as tourism and planning. Pre 18th Century Enclosure accounts for 32.13% of enclosed land in Buckinghamshire, Parliamentary Enclosure for 28% and Modern Enclosure for 15%. Both the Pre 18th Century (Irregular Enclosure) and Post-Medieval Enclosure types have changed little in the last 150 years, especially when compared with the Modern Enclosure type. Most 20th Century Enclosure is an alteration of a previously enclosed landscape (greatly changed) with just 19% of hectares newly enclosed since the nineteenth century. The HLC mapping (see diagram below) suggests that most of the enclosed landscape has remained largely unchanged for at least 150 years, if not for considerably longer. However, the HLC process did not evaluate the continuing presence of smaller landscape features, such as barns and trees, or the composition of boundary type, boundary size, hedgerows and routeways. Nor did it assess the intrusive features of modern life, such as pylons, new roads, street lighting or other elements leading to the sub-urbanisation of the countryside. These may have a significant impact upon the appearance and condition of the landscape and all play an important part in shaping the landscape visible from the ground.

  • English Nature Research Report
    Yatural Area: 23. Lincolnshire Marsh and Geological Significance: Notable Coast (provisional) General geological character: The solid geology of the Lincolnshire Marsh and Coast Natural Area is bminated by Cretaceous chalk (approximately 97-83 Ma) although the later Quaternary deposits (the last 2 Ma) give thc area its overall. charactcr. 'The chalk is only well exposed on thc south bank of the Humber, where quarries and cuttings providc exposures of the Upper Cretaceous Chalk. 'me chalk is a very pure limestone deposited on the floor of a tropical sea. During Quaternary timcs, the area was glaciated on several occasions and as a result the area is covered by a variety of glacial deposits, representing an unknown number of glacial ('lcc Age') and interglacial phases. rhe glacial deposits consist mainly of sands, gravels and clays in variable thicknesses. These are derived primarily from the erosion of surrounding bedrock and therefore tend to have similar lithological characteristics, usually with a high chalk content. The glacial deposits are particularly important because of the controversy surrounding their correlation with the timing and sequence in other parts of England, especially East Anglia. The Quaternary deposits are well exposed in coastal cliffs of the area. Key geological features: Coastal cliffs consisting of glacial sands, gravels and clays Exposures of Cretaceous chalk Number of GCR sites: Oxfordian: 1 Kimmeridgian: I Aptian-Rlbian: i Quaternary of Eastern England: 1 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~~ ~ ~ ~~ GeologicaVgeomorphological SSSI coverage: 'here are 2 (P)SSSIs in the Natural Area covering 4 GCR SlLs which represent 4 different GCR networks. The site coverage includes South Ferriby Chalk Pit SSSI which contains an important Upper Jurassic succession, overlain by Cretaceous deposits.
