Many well-managed farms and small-holdings

Farms often suffer litter, trespass and vandalism; some land is derelict in the hope of planning permission

Some well-sited, carefully landscaped developments such as business and science parks

Some developments, such as out-of-town shopping areas cause heavy traffic flows and pollution. Unregulated businesses such as scrap metal and caravan storage. Airport expansion

Some, such as reservoirs or cemeteries, may be attractive

Mineral workings, sewage works, landfill sites etc, can be unattractive and polluting

New cycleways and footpaths can improve access to the countryside

Motorways destroy countryside and promote new development, particularly near junctions

Country parks, sports fields and golf courses can lead to conservation

Some activities such as stock car racing and scrambling erode ecosystems and create localised litter and pollution

Many SSSI (sites of special scientific interest) and AONB (areas of natural beauty)

Much degraded land e.g. land ruined by fly-tipping; many SSSIs under threat.
