Surrey Hills AONB Boundary Review

Published: 06 December 2021

The Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a nationally important landscape, something everyone living in the area should be justly proud of.

There has been a desire locally over many years for a review to decide whether areas adjacent to the existing Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty boundary should also be designated.

A formal boundary review is now underway led by Natural England, and they are keen to have your involvement.

They feel it is very important that people who live in and around the Surrey Hills have the opportunity to participate in this review process. Your local knowledge is their starting point.

They hope that you and your community will participate and contribute to helping Natural England in the decision-making process.

How to get involved

The first phase of the boundary review is to gather evidence about the natural beauty of the areas, currently outside of the AONB, that are under consideration. They have designed a website and a smartphone application that will help you gather this evidence

Please use the following link to access the website, where you will find all the information you need to help you participate in this process.

The Support page of the website provides links to a series of webinars which will take place in early December and early January providing an opportunity to find out more about the Boundary review and evidence gathering process.

If you would like a hard copy of the survey form these can be downloaded from the website or obtained by either emailing evidence@surrey-hills-aonb-boundary-review.org or writing to
