Sub Type descriptions<br />
Curved-edged woodland: often created as a result of ‘assarting’ (clearing marginal<br />
land to create enclosed fields) larger forested areas for agricultural land<br />
Ancient Woodland: Cheshire HLC defined this as woodland that has been<br />
continuous woodland coverage since at least 1600 AD<br />
Forestry and Plantations: managed commercial woodlands<br />
Managed Woodland: areas of cultivated, managed woodland (generally mixed or<br />
restricted range species) producing wood which is used for a variety of purposes.<br />
Plantation Woodland: often single species plantations, the majority date to the Post-<br />
1945 period (although there are some pre-1900 examples)<br />
Woodland: contains all woodland plots that could not be assigned a strict Sub Type<br />
character. Both historic and current mapping often does not state what type of<br />
woodland is depicted. As such, this character type contains a range of woodland types<br />
- from ancient woodland through to modern plantations and community woodland<br />
schemes.<br />
