Local landscape designation
(Redirected from AGLV)
A local landscape designation is a non-statutory conservation designation used by local government in some parts of the United Kingdom to categorise sensitive landscapes which are, either legally or as a matter of policy, protected from development or other man-made influences. A local authority will typically produce a Landscape Assessment to define such areas.
An LLD may also be known as an Area of Great Landscape Value, Special Landscape Area, or Area of Special Landscape Importance.[1] If an area is designated as an AGLV, this restricts development in the area, especially if it will affect the distinctive character or quality of the landscape.[2]
