Abstract: |
The Thames Valley Character Area is a wedge-shaped area widening from Reading to include Bracknell, Slough and Windsor areas, the Colne Valley and the south-west London fringes. It contains the open Thames floodplain surrounded by rolling, clay farmland. Of the Character Area, 24% is in agricultural use and almost 10% is woodland. To the north is an area of chalk where the rolling landscape reflects that of the nearby Chilterns landscape to the north. Urban influences increase to the east where there is a large amount of built development; 45% of the Character Area is classified as urban. The remainder of the Character Area is semi-natural or open water, largely due to extensive gravel workings. |
