How to use the Landscape Character Guidelines
The Guidelines are designed to be used by the following:
• Farmers • Grant giving bodies
• Landowners • Developers
• Small holders and rural householders • Community groups
• Local authority officers • Environmental organisations
• Consultants and contractors • Parish councils
For each landscape type there is a Guidance Card, which shows a sketch of an ideal scenario, with
priorities, ideas and advice for management.
There is also a General Guidance Card which can be applied throughout the whole of the Coast and Heaths.
The 1:50,000 scale Character Map shows where each of the landscape types can be found in the AONB.
There is a range of grants available which can help towards the costs of conservation work in the AONB,
whether large or small scale. Further information and advice on topics mentioned in the guidelines, such as
hedge planting, woodland management or habitat creation can also be obtained. Please contact the Suffolk
Coast & Heaths Project for more details.

The Suffolk Coast & Heaths Project
The Project was set up in 1993. Our aim is to conserve the landscape and
wildlife, provide for quiet enjoyment and promote co-ordinated
management for an area based on the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty. We work closely with landowners, local
communities, organisations and visitors to help protect the special character
of the area.
The Suffolk Coast & Heaths Partnership
The Partnership is made up of 23 organisations with an interest in the area,
including the Local Authorities, government agencies, farming
representatives, and conservation organisations. They have all signed up to
support the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Management Strategy which sets out
a framework for the protection and care of the AONB.
