One of the first was a Countryside Commission document published in 1987, followed by work in Warwickshire which widely gained acceptance among local authorities. In the mid 1990s the Countryside Commission carried out a programme of work to consistently analyse landscape character across England. This resulted in a map dividing England into 181 separate Regional Character areas. The first practical application of this appproach is now being developed by Staffordsgire and Stoke as part of the structure plan review, where a countryside character approach will get the go-ahead as supplementary guidance. Provides more detail on how this will operate.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
