Comment on RAG Headline Indicator Baseline Target

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.
A. Some elements of the “Landscape Framework” have been started. 
A project plan is to be developed within 2008/9. Amber because timescale and 
project leadership have been impacted on by development management 
and local plan commitments.

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.
The value of wildness in the National Park has been emphasised through a public
perceptions survey covering 1300 interviewees – most important attribute of
wild land is ‘wildlife’. A high tech, pioneering, mapping project undertaken
with Leeds University has identified where wildness is most apparent in the NP.
Protection and enhancement will be ensured through policy and supplementary
planning guidance.

1b. Total area of land that has one or more attributes of wild land.
Total area of land that has all attributes of wild land.
2008 No net loss of areas.

The location, scale, layout and design of all new development will make a
positive contribution to the natural, cultural and built landscapes of the Park,
and the adverse impacts of some existing developments will be reduced.
This is ensured through planning and development management. The 
planning committee is assisted in decision making by a range of advisors
in ecology and landscape and other consultees including various interest
groups. A working agreement between SNH and CNPA ensures efficiency
in delivery of advice relating to the natural heritage. LP not in place so
