Norfolk Rural Development Strategy Dataset 2013 Norfolk Rural Development Strategy Data on Rural Norfolk 2013 This data set is designed to support the Norfolk Rural Development Strategy 2013-2020 by providing more detailed information at county and district level to help support decision making and bids for funding to support the development of the County’s rural areas. The data is fully referenced and in many cases readers can find even more detailed information by using the references provided to access the original source documents. The production of the dataset, as with the main strategy, was supported by Norfolk County Council with feedback and advice from the Rural Development Strategy Steering group.

These are available at www.norfolkinsight.org.uk norfolk rural development strategy dataset - final 23rd september 2013 - 3 - Norfolk Rural Development Strategy Dataset 2013 The Norfolk Rural Population Norfolk is by nature a rural county which, except for Norwich, has no town or city larger than 50,000 people.
