Abstract The poster summarised Leicestershire County and Rutland District Councils Planning policies operative in the area surrounding Rutland Water. The policies are contained in the Structure Plan for Rutland, approved in December 1979, Rutland District Council's Settlement Policy and the Empingham District Plan preliminary discussion document. The policies of more specific application to the area surrounding Rutland Water are those of the Empingham District Plan which relate to land use, recreation and traffic management in the Parishes of Burley, Edith Weston, Egleton, Empingham, Exton, Gunthorpe, Hambleton, Horn, Lyndon, Manton, Normanton and Whitwell. The theme reflected in all policies covering this area is one of conservation. It is expressed in one of the Structure Plan's basic policies as follows: ‘Rutland's Planning Role should be one of positive conservation particularly of natural resources with an emphasis on minimising the loss of, and where practicable improving the natural assets of farmland, woodland, minerals and water.’
