White Consultants Landscape Reports

Cotswold District Council undertook a review of its first District–wide Local Plan, adopted in August 1999. As part of that review, White Consultants were appointed to carry out a review of the existing Special Landscape Areas (SLA's) and protected open space policy areas (2001).

In addition in they were to carry out two parallel landscape assessment studies;

• Assessment of Landscapes outside the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty [June 2000]. This assessed the landscape of three major undesignated areas in the District which were Cirencester/Upper Thames Valley, Moreton-in-Marsh Surrounds and the Vale of Evesham.
• Study of Land surrounding Key Settlements in Cotswold District [ June 2000]. This assessed the landscapes around nineteen key settlements selected by the Council. The study identified where development would be suitable or unsuitable in terms of impact on the landscape.

These studies form the landscape context documents for the District.
