Geology Audit
Peterborough, as an Environment City, is showing
a positive commitment to the concept of sustainability by actively
seeking to protect its geological resource. -
David Attenborough
The Peterborough Geology Audit (1999) provides the foundations
for policies to conserve some of the world's best Jurassic fossil
sites. In order to prevent potentially important sites being
lost through waste disposal and landfill, reclamation schemes,
quarrying and new development, the Peterborough Geology Audit
has:
 |
|
Established a geological database for the Peterborough
district
|
|
|
Identified Regionally Important Geological Sites (RIGS)
|
|
|
Established a basis for the co-ordination and management
of geological conservation in the Peterborough area
|
|
|
Uses survey results to set targets and shared monitoring
systems for sustainable transport planning
|
|
|
Proposed action plans to protect and enhance key geological
sites
|
|
|
Requested that the results of the Audit be adopted by
Peterborough
City Council
as Supplementary Guidance and incorporated into the planning
process
|
This informative publication, with a foreword by Sir David Attenborough,
identifies the important geological sites within the District
along with the action plans for their conservation.
Copies of the Audit are available from PECT for £5.00 including
post and packaging.
