Valued Landscapes

AFA are currently undertaking a Valued Landscape Assessment for the Stour Valley Project Area associated with the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). This landscapes is noted as sharing similar characteristics with the AONB but does not have any statutory planning status. The study will set out evidence in relation to the valued qualities of the landscape and key settlements. It is hoped this work will provide a useful evidence base, inform development proposals and assist the AONB when commenting on planning applications.
