Historic Routeways Characterisation discussed at Annual AONB Planning Seminar

On Wednesday 11th May thirty-eight people, not including AONB staff, attended the annual AONB planning and transportation seminar. This included a good mixture of people from other AONB teams, development control staff, planning policy, and heritage conservation staff, and highway planners and engineers.

The day aimed to cover:

• Local Distinctiveness and character and their relationship to localism
• New trends in applications and the landscape issues surrounding them
• New approaches to rural highways including historic routeways characterisation
• The increasing importance of ‘setting’
• Green infrastructure
  

As with previous years seminars the day was comprised of a mixture of short presentations and group exercises. The groups seemed to be very engaged while undertaking these exercises and there were some lively comments during the feedback.
