Targeting Statements
Defra, in discussion with other Government agencies, has outlined the key characteristics of the different parts of the English countryside, by defining over 150 Joint Character Areas; your land will be covered by one of these areas. Each area has priority targets for the management of a variety of features. These targets have been agreed with help from local organisations. A targeting statement relevant to your area is included with your application form, and a complete set is available for download below.
A map showing the location of the individual character areas is available [400KB], and further background information, including detailed descriptions of each character area is available on the Countryside Agency website.
To view the targeting statement specific to your area, either choose the region, county or character area your land is situated in from the menus below, or click the appropriate part of the map. The guidance information is provided in Adobe Reader![[Click to download Adobe Acrobat Reader]](/graphics/buttons/pdf.gif){kind=small}
format. All files are between 150 and 350 KB.
Please note that character areas can overlap county and regional borders. You may find that the character area you are interested in will cover two or more counties or regions as a result. If you live near a county or regional border and cannot find a particular character area, you could also check neighbouring counties and regions for further information.
