This Landscape Character Description documents stage two of the Hutt
Landscape Study, a comprehensive landscape assessment of the Lower
and Upper Hutt districts.

The flow chart on the next page shows the study's structure; each stage
informs the next. The spatial information gathered in Stage One was used
for this Stage Two landscape character description. In turn, the character
description can be used as the basis for Stage Three to occur at some
time in the future.
