Spatial Dimensions of Rural Policy

Spatial Dimensions of Rural Policy was funded by SEERA (South East England Regional Assembly) and SEEDA (South East England Development Agency) in 2003 - 2004.

The Spatial Dimensions of Rural Policy project involved a categorisation of rural areas in south east England using a range of spatial data. The study fed into the development of the South East Plan and defined different area categories and their characteristics in the region.

A report to the funding partners was published by the BSP in 2004.
