undertaken in 2007 by Julie Martin Associates, with Alison Farmer Associates and Countryscape, on behalf of Northumberland National Park Authority and the former Tynedale District Council. The update has been commissioned by Northumberland National Park Authority and undertaken by Alison Farmer Associates in order to ensure it reflects an up to date evidence base for use in the emerging Local Plan for the National Park. The initial character assessment included Tynedale District plus all of Northumberland National Park. In 2009 Local Authority reorganisation resulted in the creation of a single unitary authority, Northumberland County, which encompassed six districts including Tyndale. Subsequently a study to consolidate existing landscape character assessments for the new unitary authority was commissioned in 2010 and drew heavily on the former Tyndale District and Northumberland National Park assessment and assessments for the other relevant districts. This update document contains only the landscape character areas and types relating to the National Park area. Care has been taken during this update to ensure revisions to this document remain consistent with the Northumberland County LCA. All drawings have been updated. 1.1 Landscape Character Assessment Landscape character is the distinct, recognisable and consistent pattern of elements that makes one landscape different from another. Variations in geology, soils, landform, land use, vegetation, field boundaries, settlement patterns and building styles all help give rise to different landscapes, each with its own distinctive character and sense of place. These differences are the product of both natural and human influences. Within the National Park there is enormous landscape diversity, including (from north to south) the smooth, rounded uplands of the Cheviots; the wild Border moors and forests; the craggy sandstone hills around Simonside and the distinctive linear landscapes of the Tyne

Aims and Scope Background 1.1 Oxfordshire’s draft Minerals and Waste Core Strategy was published for public consultation in September 2011. A concern was identified in the responses made by the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and North Wessex Downs AONB. This related to potential landscape impacts on the Protected Landscapes of minerals developments within two proposed broad areas for sand and gravel working at Cholsey and Caversham. This study identifies the nature of these impacts, and potential mitigation measures which could help reduce the impacts. 1.2 The impacts identified will refer both to the operational phase of any development, and restoration phases. Recommendations may help to identify potential restoration priorities, and mitigation measures. Aims 1.3 The aim of the study is to carry out an assessment of the potential landscape impacts of minerals development within two proposed areas for mineral working on the setting of Oxfordshire’s AONBs.

  • 3.0 Project Pipeline
    3.0 Project Pipeline Following the workshop the project proposals were summarised into a pipeline. This was shared with all attendees for comments and further input and then reviewed by the North East LNP Natural Environment Group and other LNP representatives. The following summary provides an overview of project potential and likelihood of development. It is clear from this that there are potential landscape projects in the pipeline until 2019. Beyond this there is significant potential for further delivery, however the majority of these projects are currently at an outline stage and would require significant work to move towards delivery. This pipeline will be reviewed annually by the 3 North East LNPs to ensure that it remains a current overview of landscape delivery potential and allow partners to focus and align resources to ensure that there is the best approach taken to achieve delivery. It is anticipated that during this process, some projects will be discounted from the pipeline as delivery is unachievable whilst new ideas may be added as new opportunities are presented.

Heatherslaw d. Gairshields e. Stonehaugh 4. Discussion of Sticking points 5. Generic Conclusions – lessons learned for each party and roadmap for project development. 6. Question and Answers 7. List of further support Introduction So, you want to develop a community renewable energy project… Background The inspiration for the production of this brochure came largely from the process of developing the promotional brochure for the fourteen projects supported by the Northumberland Strategic Partnership Renewable Energy Capital Grant Scheme, which was made available in 2007-08 to support a number of demonstration schemes. In talking to the recipients of the grant, many of the people involved in developing projects heaved a big sigh and proclaimed that they were glad If only I had….. that they’d got there in the end but “if only I had ….” or “if I was to do it again I’d make sure…..”. Many of these experiences came from community groups or small businesses who had faced interacting with not only the renewable energy sector, but the whole process of contracting large works for the first time with little more than home renovation experience to go on. If I was to do it It became apparent that much of the real value of again I would…. supporting such projects was not only the resulting demonstration of the technology but also the opportunity to capture this learning process that individuals and groups have been through to reach a successful project.
