Surrey Hills National Landscape Boundary Review Project

For many years there has been a local desire to extend the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (SH AONB) to include locally valued landscape such as Areas of Great Landscape Value (AGLV) and wider countryside. These proposals have been supported by the AONB Board and local authorities and a formal request was put to Natural England by the AONB Board proposing a variation to the AONB boundary based on an early study by Hankinson Duckett Associates (HDA) in 2013.

In December 2013 Natural England's Board confirmed it would take forward a project to determine if the AONB boundary should be varied and to define a recommended boundary.
