Countryside Stewardship targetting

CS targetting was completed during 2014-5, using nation-wide data sets rather than local ones. The AONB unit input to the consultation and discussions and offered use of local datasets, but only national sets were used. The mid-tier developed differently, and it was in the Facilitation Funded catchment groups which in the end were most locally focussed. The AONB is a partner in the Loud catchment group (see 1.2E).
