  3. Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty The primary purpose of the AONB designation is to conserve and enhance the natural beauty of the landscape. There are two secondary aims: • meeting the need for quiet enjoyment of the countryside • and having regard for the interests of those who live and work there. To achieve these aims, AONBs rely on planning controls and practical countryside management.

  4. AONBs are comparable to National Parks. • Come from the same legislation. • NPs have their own authorities with special legal powers • AONBs are less well known and have a lower level of control over planning and development.
