Streatley is
in the North
Wessex Downs AONB and Goring is in the Chilterns AONB.
West Berkshire Council Planning Department classify an
AONB as equivalent to a Natural Park and are dedicated
to not only protecting and conserving them as National
Assets, but also enhancing them where practical.
The AONB is the highest level and most important level
of 'Policy Protection' for West Berkshire Council against
inappropriate planning development for Streatley. |

As a result of the Countryside and Rights
of Way (CROW) Act adopted in 2000, new types of organisation
to care for AONB's are being set up. The first in the country
is a Conservation Board for the Chilterns Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty, set up on 14th
December 2004.
It should be noted that no part of Goring or Streatley is in
a designated Green Belt Area, which is a lower classification
than an AONB. Click here to view plan... |
