Special landscape area
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
A special landscape area is a non-statutory conservation designation used by local government in some parts of the United Kingdom to categorise sensitive landscapes which are, either legally or as a matter of policy, protected from development or other man-made influences.
The term is commonly used both by local authorities (e.g. Kent County Council) but also nationally (e.g. Countryside Council for Wales).
