In January 2023, South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse District Councils commissioned LUC to prepare a Valued Landscapes Assessment covering the two districts.

This Valued Landscapes Assessment identifies and maps valued landscapes in the study area at the district scale and provides a description of the special characteristics and features of these areas (Local Landscape Designations (LLDs)). The Valued Landscapes Assessment also provides recommendations and guidance for the positive management of the LLDs to retain and enhance their special characteristics.
