National Character area profiles - online platform and database

This project is a key component within Defra's and Natural England's wider programme of work including supporting the creation of resilient landscapes. The outputs and evidence from this project will directly inform a range of strategic work included within Natural England's statutory remit for the conservation and enhancement of England's landscapes, and how and why they are changing. Key policy areas are: - the Defra 25 Year Environment Plan Indicator G1: Changes in landscape and waterscape character. - Conserving and enhancing all landscapes (including obligations under the European Landscape Convention for monitoring landscape change) - Statutory duties for the designation and advice relating to protected landscapes, including responding to proposals within the Glover Landscapes Review for enhanced monitoring of landscape change.
