Defra Statutory Guidance for Natural England on Regional Planning and Associated Matters
In 2008 Natural England will be working with a wide range of partners and stakeholders on regional plans, strategies and frameworks, see the South West Regional Schedule.
Land Management in the South West
Information about the approach to the governance, strategy and delivery of land management, and in particular agri-environment, schemes in the South West region.
Dorset Heathlands: development and recreation issues
An outline of current issues affecting the Dorset heathland, particularly in relation to housing development.
Potential Severn Barrage
Natural England commissioned a study to consider any impacts of a potential Severn Barrage between Lavernock Point and Brean Down on visual amenity and the character of the landscape and seascape.
STREAM and the Living River Initiatives
Natural England is leading the STREAM and Living River Initiatives, which contribute to integrating wildlife, landscape and promoting community engagement in the catchment.
Green Infrastructure
Information on our engagement with green infrastructure strategies
The Purbeck Keystone Project
Natural England is participating as a partner in this important project on the basis that it will deliver significant improvements to the management and condition of considerable areas of calcareous and lowland wet grassland within Dorset which although non-designated, provide important refuges for biodiversity.

China Clay Woodland Project
The mid-Cornwall landscape has been massively reshaped by the China Clay mining industry over more than 200 years, creating the landscape of the Cornish Alps. The main China Clay industry in Cornwall has restructured and there are a number of opportunities for land use post-mining to deliver sustainable conservation, access and landscape benefits.
The China Clay Woodland Project is one such project, following on from the success of the THH project (1998 – 2004) which re-created and restored lowland heathland in mid Cornwall, the majority on the mine waste tips.
