Italian term

bellezze d'insieme

Italian to English Other Environment & Ecology football
I bei paesaggi vengono individuati dalla 1497 in base ad azioni di riconoscimento e tutela dei valori estetici di specifici luoghi individuati dalle Soprintendenze:
• bellezze individue;
• bellezze d’insieme;
• beni immobili che ne costituiscono il carettere;
• luoghi da cui le bellezze d’insieme vengono percepite

Does anyone know what would be the GB equivalent?? Many thanks

areas of special beauty

I don't believe that UK planning law has a direct equivalent, though Planning authorities do refer to areas of distinctive character and similar expressions both in strategy statements and individual decisions e.g. Surbiton: "areas of special character" http://www.kingston.gov.uk/surbiton_-_illustrated_report_19.... This Edinburgh related site states: "The Act makes provision for the designation of Conservation Areas as distinct from individual buildings ..." http://download.edinburgh.gov.uk/caca/CACANew_Town.pdf and "Conservation Areas" is probably the nearest official equivalent.
I have suggested "Areas of special beauty" but, as an official term, this appears to be restricted to the US and Australia.
Peer comment(s):

agree Jo Macdonald : or special/particular interest. Perhaps bellezze individue: a statue, building, bellezze d’insieme; a building complex, district or a whole village/town

agree Rachel Fell : is it different from AONBs (e.g. Cotswolds)?

The reference to beni immobili suggests man-made as well as natural beauty.
agree Jean Martin : My question is the same as Rachel's. Are they one and the same thing?

puo' esserti utile consultare la legge per capire meglio cosa intenda l'autore del tuo testo.

L'articolo 1 definisce cosi' le bellezze naturali di noteole interesse pubblico:

Art. 1

Sono soggette alla presente legge a causa del loro notevole interesse pubblico:

1. le cose immobili che hanno cospicui caratteri di bellezza naturale o di singolarità geologica;

2. le ville, i giardini e i parchi che, non contemplati dalle leggi per la tutela delle cose d'interesse artistico o storico, si distinguono per la loro non comune bellezza;

3. i complessi di cose immobili che compongono un caratteristico aspetto avente valore estetico e tradizionale;

4. le bellezze panoramiche considerate come quadri naturali e così pure quei punti di vista o di belvedere, accessibili al pubblico, dai quali si goda lo spettacolo di quelle bellezze.
Note from asker:
thanks Silvia, I'd already found the law... wouldn't say I'm none the wiser but... just don't know what we'd call it in English!
