The Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Landscape Design Guide is now available.

One of the main purposes of the handbook is to guide the design of new landscape works and development to help ensure that it respects the distinctive landscape setting and does not undermine the purpose, high quality and special distinctiveness of the different landscape character areas and buildings within the Kent Downs AONB.

Local planning authorities will be encouraged to adopt the final version of this design handbook as Supplementary Planning Guidance so that it has to been taken into consideration when land use planning decisions are being made.
