Landscapes Review

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will make an assessment of the implications for proposal eight of the independent report entitled Landscapes review: final report, published on 27 May 2018, of the decision of the High Court in Darwall and Darwall v Dartmoor National Park Authority of 13 January 2023.

Answer

The Landscapes Review included proposals to increase engagement with all parts of society, particularly younger and more diverse audiences. Programmes such as Generation Green demonstrate that national-scale partnerships and coordinated collaboration can augment what our lead partners are already doing so well. We are also aiming to establish a new national landscapes partnership that can work with our lead partners to enhance and expand community engagement through national strategic partnerships and collaborative programmes


We are also actively developing opportunities to work across government to strengthen the role that protected landscapes can play in supporting the country’s health, wellbeing, and education.

A number of National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty are undertaking initiatives to provide opportunities to connect young people with nature.
