The Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) is a nationally designated landscape that stretches across rural Surrey.  It includes some of the most beautiful and accessible countryside in South East England.  The Surrey Hills AONB Board, a Joint Committee which oversees the management of the area, has developed a number of innovative ways to attract investment into Surrey’s countryside. This includes developing a Surrey Hills brand which is protected through a Trademark.  This report recommends extending the licence of the Trademark to Surrey Hills Enterprises and the Surrey Hills Society.

It was agreed that:

1.    the Surrey Hills Trademark licence is extended to both Surrey Hills Enterprises (Community Interest Company) and the Surrey Hills Society (charity) at no fee for three years with the intention of it being further extended following a review and;

2.    The final wording of the Trademark licence is agreed by officers and further signed off by the Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport.
