It' has now been 3.5 years since we were shortlisted for possible Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty designation.

We've always promised to keep you up-to-date on developments and we are regularly questioned regarding the status of the potential designation.

In this respect, we have produced a comprehensive timeline of events so that you can see the very detailed requirements in the designation process which have been underway since the shortlisting announcement back in June 2021 CLICK HERE.

Trustees of the Sandstone Ridge (all of whom are volunteers) have been heavily involved at all stages of this process.

All information remains confidential at this sensitive stage in developments but directly we have more information we'll keep you posted.

We would also point you to the slide show prepared by Natural England and in which is also a timeline schedule – thrown off balance, of course, because of purdah related to the General Election which was held in 2024 CLICK HERE.
