Assessment of achievement of outcome Headline Indicator BaselineTarget

A Landscape Plan for the Park will identify the natural, cultural and
built landscape qualities, the factors influencing them and underpin
actions for positive management.

4. This outcome should be achieved with existing work/resource
because the project planning phase has been contracted to David 
Tyldesley to progress while staff resources are focused on Local Plan 
Inquiry preparation. The Landscape Character Assessment is the 
main element planned for 2009 and the project scoping for this is in 
hand with partners and due to begin in May 2009 to fit with the timetable
for supplementary planning guidance. Further CNPA staff time is planned
to co-ordinate this work following preparation for the local plan inquiry and a
steering group is in place to co-ordinate and monitor progress.

1a. % of consented developments that comply with the Landscape Framework.
2009 100%

The key areas for the experience of wild land qualities will be identified, protected
and enhanced as a major source of enjoyment of the Park and wild land qualities
throughout the rest of the Park will be safeguarded.

3. This outcome needs more work/resource to be achieved because while the
first phase of work has been completed, a pioneering, mapping project
undertaken with Leeds University which has identified where wildness is
most apparent in the NP, this work needs to be developed into a policy 
that will inform planning and development management and wider enhancement
work with land managers. An SNH/CNPA perceptions study on the value of 
wildness in the National Park found strong support for wildness and found 
the most important attribute of wild land is perceived as ‘wildlife’.
The policy work is planned as part of the supplementary planning guidance.
