Landscape Plan

Buckinghamshire has a rich and varied landscape ranging from the Thames and Colne valleys in the south, through the chalk hills and valleys of the Chilterns, the low-lying clay Vale of Aylesbury interspersed by the limestone Midvale Ridge, the Greensand Ridge in the east, the Ouse Valley and to the Whittlewood Ridge in the north.

We have developed the Landscape Plan for Buckinghamshire to addresses the complex issues of landscape conservation and enhancement against a dynamic and changing Buckinghamshire countryside. Part 1 has been published and  includes a factual assessment of the landscape character of the county and sets out a guiding vision for its conservation and enhancement of "A productive and sustainable rural landscape retaining its essential character, local distinctiveness and quality."
