Respondent: Kent Downs AONB Unit

The AONB Unit welcomes the reference in the Vision to ‘The rural character of the Medway Valley and the Medway and Thames estuaries are valued landscapes and habitats are in good condition’. We are unsure about the intention or meaning of the word ‘secured’ proposed elsewhere in the Vision however, nor how ‘best’ is defined or perceived’. As a nationally recognised and designated landscape, we would consider all of the area covered by the AONB to be regarded as both valued and best landscapes.
