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 looks at the 16 types of landscape, each with its own chapter. See the full guidance at the end.
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 that was used prior to our rebrand as Norfolk Coast Protected Landscape.
