Consultations - Draft Supplementary Guidance on Special Landscape Areas

Consultation

We want to know your views on the draft guidance on managing these areas.
Closing date

6 June 2018
Summary

Special Landscape Areas (SLAs) are areas which are recognised locally as having landscape of value which merit special attention. Designation as a SLA is intended to help manage these landscapes to maintain and enhance their special character.
The draft supplementary guidance includes the Statements of Importance for each of the seven Special Landscape Areas identified in the Midlothian Local Development Plan 2017. These statements include information about why the area is being designated, a description of the area’s landscape qualities and what needs to be considered if proposing development in the area.

Special Landscape Areas can be important for their scenic qualities, enjoyment by the public, their cultural qualities and or their naturalness.
