The revised National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) makes clear that the Government attaches great importance to the protection of Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs). There are no new protections for AONBs in the revised NPPF as great weight should already be given to conserving their landscape and scenic beauty within the existing framework.
