Profile documents for Environmental Character Areas
The 91制片厂Green Infrastructure Partnership has undertaken an analysis of the landscape character, biodiversity and the historic environment of 91制片厂to identify 30 distinct GI Environmental Character Areas (ECAs). Details about how these were developed is set out in Planning for a Multifunctional Green Infrastructure Framework in Worcestershire: Green Infrastructure Framework 2 (2012).
These underlie the distinctive character of 91制片厂and it is the Council's intention that the unique characteristics of each area will drive the restoration strategy for the Minerals Local Plan.
The profile documents set out the characteristics and priorities for the each ECA. It sets out the mineral resources in the ECA and the GI priorities identified by the 91制片厂GI Partnership. These priorities are structured around biodiversity, historic environment, landscape character, water environment (also known as blue infrastructure) access and recreation and transport.
