Sample of Illustrated Statements

We want your views on what would be the most useful format for the illustrated statements, a sample of which are set out below as PDFs. The summaries for each statement can be set out in as web text with hotlinks to the glossary. One area statement (click here for 130: Hampshire Downs) is set out as web text with glossary terms highlighted.

122 (High Weald)
This statement has illustrations of the key farmstead types funded by the High Weald AONB. Each type description is written to a standard format that provides National Context and sets out Typical Features and Rarity and Significance. This format has the advantages of placing should be restricted a small number of areas, and that a regional glossary would save on repeating the same text for each area.
