Generally the themes seem to be comprehensive with the key issues well defined.

In the Profile 'Environment and Transport section' we suggest that you include the high proportion of woodland cover (as you note in 8.11 ), a large proportion of which is Ancient Woodland. The district has 7386.44ha of ancient woodland, which is the 5th highest amount of ancient woodland in any local authority in South East England. Ancient Woodlands, which are features of irreplaceable heritage and landscape value (the detail may be better placed in 8.11 ).
