Protected Countryside

Protected Countryside is a designation for areas that are preserved for their natural beauty, wildlife habitats, and rural character. This status aims to balance rural living and farming with environmental conservation, ensuring that these landscapes are maintained and protected from unsuitable development. It allows for sustainable activities like farming and tourism but restricts large-scale construction or industrial projects that could harm the area's character or environment. Essentially, it helps keep these areas special and intact for future generations while allowing them to remain functional and accessible.
