Dartmoor National Park Landscape Character Assessment

Landscape Character Assessment (LCA) for Dartmoor National Park has been prepared by Land Use Consultants for the National Park Authority (DNPA) in partnership with Devon County Council and with funding from Natural England. It forms part of a wider programme of LCA work being undertaken on a Devon-wide scale, designed to help guide strategic planning and development management decisions and provide guidelines for the conservation and enhancement of Devon’s special landscape qualities.

The LCA for Dartmoor will form part of the evidence base for the National Park Authority’s Local Development Framework (LDF) and guide the revision of the National Park Management Plan (the current Plan’s timeframe runs until 2012). It will be used both as a tool to guide development so that it is in sympathy with local variations in landscape character, as well as to inform land management activity to conserve and enhance the special qualities of the National Park.
