These documents will inform the future work of the candidate National Nature Reserve located in North Kent between (and extending south of) the towns of Gravesend and Strood. The Landscape Character Assessment provides a unified and consistent Landscape Character Assessment across an area which is covered by three different Local Authorities and contains land within and outside the Kent Downs National Landscape. It weaves together the natural and human influences on the landscape to describe its evolution and present-day character.
The Landscape Implementation Plan takes forward landscape enhancement recommendations from the Landscape Character Assessment, explaining how they can be put into practice through the themed strategies being developed for the Candidate National Nature Reserve, namely: Community Consultation; Visitor Access and Engagement; Ecological and Environmental Management; Veteran Trees; Heritage Landscape; Deer Management and Grazing Plan.
