Landscape Character Surveys
The unique natural beauty of an area can be recorded and described in a Landscape Character Survey which is then used to inform development decisions, the process is to identify and understand the things that give character to the landscape. Understanding the character of an area is the vital first step in making almost any landscape-related decision, whether it is for a village street or an entire region. The primary objectives of landscape character surveys are:
- to outline how the landscape has evolved in terms of physical forces and human influences;
- to classify the landscape into distinct landscape types identifying key characteristics and sensitivities,
- to describe the current appearance of the landscape, classifying it into distinct zones,, summarising the key features of each landscape character area;
There are several distinct stages in the Landscape Character Survey Process which include:
- a desk based study which utilises online resources to identify various landscape elements and features,
- a site walk over to verify features identified within the desk based study and to collect further and additional information that could not be gathered during the desk based research, this stage of the process would also be used to gather further to information regarding current land-use,
- the findings of the desk based and study and detailed walkover surveyed would be presented in a written report;
