The Hampshire Landscape - a Strategy for the Future

The strategy has three aims:

Aim 1 Landscape character and diversity

To maintain and enhance:

the overall quality and diversity of landscape character across the county;

the distinctive sense of place and individual identity of each particular area.

Aim 2 Biological diversity

To support and complement:

the aims of the Biodiversity Action Plan for Hampshire, enhancing biological diversity throughout the wider countryside.

Aim 3 Development

To support and complement planning policies by helping to ensure that:

new development respects and, where practicable, contributes towards enhancing the character and local sense of place of the landscape;

scarce and irreplaceable landscapes are recognised and respected when development proposals are being considered.
