3 the Character of the Chiltern District Landscape 3 The Character of the Chiltern District Landscape 3.1 The landscape character of Chiltern District has been created by a combination of physical, historic, natural, social and economic processes. The diversity is recognised in the identification 10 landscape types. Each of these landscape types has a distinct and relatively homogenous character with similar physical and cultural attributes, including geology, landform, land cover and historic evolution. The landscape types are further subdivided into component landscape character areas. The character areas are discrete geographic areas that possess the common characteristics described for the landscape type. Each character area has a distinct and recognisable local identity. 3.1 The landscape classification for Buckinghamshire is set out in Appendix 5 and illustrated on Figure 3.1. 3.3 The landscape types and character areas which lie within Chiltern District are set out in Table 3 and illustrated on Figure 3.2. The classification and boundary mapping has been undertaken using GIS, with mapping at a scale of 1:25,000.
