The National Landscapes Characterisation Programme

The National Landscapes Characterisation Programme is a project aimed at identifying and describing the unique qualities of different areas across a country. It helps to understand what makes each landscape special, including its natural features, history, and cultural significance. This information supports better planning and management, ensuring that development respects and preserves the character of each region. By creating detailed profiles of landscapes, the programme helps policymakers, communities, and landowners make informed decisions that balance conservation with future use.
