Natural England WebsiteLandscape Character Assessment Guidance

The Landscape Character Assessment Guidance (external link) is published by Natural England and Scottish Natural Heritage. It shows how to identify and express the different elements such as woodlands, hedgerows, moors, mountains and farmland, building styles, and historic artifacts. These are all things which give a place its unique character.

It is divided into two parts:

  • A practical guide to Landscape Character Assessment
  • Landscape Character Assessment in Practice

These can both be downloaded from the Natural England website.
