		AONBs are created under the same legislation as the national parks, the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949.
		The smallest AONB is the Isles of Scilly (1976), 16 km², and the largest AONB is the Cotswolds (1966), 2,038 km².

		Settlements and buildings in the Kent Downs are distinctive from village to village and have a definite Kentish look through the use of local materials and design.
		These allow local people to say what they value about the design characteristics and settlement pattern of their village or parish and to draw up design principles which will be used by the local planning authority when assessing planning applications in that village.
		The Kent Downs AONB is currently engaged in research to assess the effectiveness of Village Design Statements and their likely future in the new planning context.
