Willington Village to the east of the BRVP, surrounded by its own green belt of existing fields, will remain largely unchanged. The sizeable areas of predominantly rough grassland with scattered trees/scrub and farmland that lie immediately to the west and east of Willington help define the extent of this rural village and provide local landscape and wildlife interest.
The focus here will be on conserving and enhancing the value of these areas. Some of these areas to the west of Willington are potentially contaminated, having been previously worked for mineral and back-filled many years ago, and will require further investigation to inform any future work.
