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 />
