Title: Middle Severn : first annual review : January 1999
Author: Environment Agency Midlands Region
Document Type: Monograph
Abstract:
This Annual Review summarises the progress made in achieving targets to improve the local environment in the Middle Severn area in the year since publication of the Action Plan in November 1997. Good progress has been made by many parties responsible for carrying out the actions that were planned for the year, either as individual organisations or in collaborative projects. The Middle Severn plan area lies mainly within the Counties of Shropshire and Worcestershire. It also includes Telford an Wrekin unitary authority, and smaller parts of Staffordshire, Wrexham County Borough and Powys County, and covers an area of 2,634 square kilometres. The area is valued for its rich natural beauty and areas of unspoilt countryside. The area is one of contrasts with two distinct domains: the flatter landscape of the Shropshire Plain in the north and the more undulating, wooded Severn valley to the south, the two areas being separated by the Ironbridge Gorge. The rural nature of the area is reflected by the fact that only around 5% of the area is urban.
