Abstract: |
The landscape character of the proposed extension reflects its location on the floodplain of the River Lugg and successive phases of pastoral land-use. In the post-medieval period, the area formed part of an extensive water meadow using water channelled from the Wellington Brook. This phase of land-use is still clearly reflected in the present landscape, which retains the field pattern associated with the watermeadow and contains numerous relict channels. In the late 18th or early 19th century, this system went out of use, although the area continued to be managed as pasture and was provided with new hedges and hedgerow trees. Many of these hedges and trees survive, although they are generally in poor condition. In the last century, the historic character of the landscape has been eroded further by a move away from traditional farming practices. |
