## Notice

This project will map uptake of both the ES and CS buildings maintenance options for both live and closed agreements. This mapping will then analyse the geographic pattern of uptake in particular comparing this with national character mapping and identifying any gaps in take-up. The mapping will also be used to consider the pattern of take-up within and in the vicinity of green-belt and in proximity to peri-urban and urban areas. The relationship of maintained buildings to PROW or other available access and landscape visibility will be considered to support understanding of the wider benefit of these options.
