SCOPE Where it applies? The Strategy applies across the whole MidCoast, covering our urban areas and surrounding rural and natural landscapes. The urban areas include the strategic, coastal and rural centres (shown in Figure 1), along with a large number of villages, each with their own unique character and qualities. These urban areas cover approximately 5% of the MidCoast and house around 95% of our population.
SA L I SB
The remainder of the MidCoast is non-urban land, as a mixture of rural and natural landscapes (shown as light olive in Figure 1). Characterised by productive farmland, waterways, striking scenery and an abundance of natural treasures, these landscapes contribute significantly to our green spaces.
