Integrated Landscape Character Assessment

Our Norfolk Coast is recognised as a National Landscape due to its significance as a landscape but also for its biodiversity, geodiversity, culture and history.
The Integrated Landscape Character Guidance takes a deep dive into the 16 types of landscape, each with its own chapter. All the chapters together can be found in the final document.

Please note, this guidance makes reference to Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), which were renamed National Landscapes in 2023. It also displays our previous logo, prior to our rebrand as Norfolk Coast Protected Landscape.
