This states that a landscape character assessment linked to criteria based policy approach should provide sufficient protection for these areas provided such designations are based on a formal and robust assessment of the qualities of the landscape concerned. Against this background, Chris Burnett Associates (CBA) were commissioned to undertake a review of the Surrey AGLV by the Surrey Planning Officers Association. (SPOA) The study commenced with a review of historic background. It established that the Surrey Hills AONB is closely linked with the designation of the AGLV. The first County Plan approved in 1958 showed the first AGLV area, which was a smaller area incorporating the North Downs escarpment and the area of Greensand Hills surrounding Leith Hill. The AONB designated in the same year incorporated the original AGLV area but was much larger including the Greensand Valleys, the whole of the Frensham / Devils Punch Bowl plateau and parts of the Wooded Weald.

(2013). Results from the June 2013 driving transects across the Thames Basin Heaths SPA. Footprint Ecology. 3 Results from 2013 driving transects across the Thames Basin Heaths SPA Summary Car parking provision across the SPA Across the SPA 160 car parking areas were identified with a space for an estimated 2,118 parked vehicles. Three parking areas had been closed since the last count and two previously unmapped parking areas were identified. Car park transects Three weekday and three weekend driving transects were conducted counting all parked vehicles in the 161 car parking areas over a 2 hour time window. In total 3,164 parked vehicles were recorded with an average of 527 per count. Significantly more vehicles were recorded on the weekend (1,881) compared to the weekday (1,283) counts. There was a significant relationship between the capacity of a car park and the number of parked vehicles. In total 8 commercial dog walking vans were observed parked adjacent to SPA access points and 79 parked vehicles had bike racks. Estimation of visitors from car park transect data The car park transect data were scaled up using the mean vehicle occupancy value calculated from the face to face visitor work in 2012 (Fearnley & Liley 2012). We estimate the car park transect data captures visitor information from 5,219 people and their 3,179 dogs.
