This workshop will explore the opportunities for local decision making
within landscape planning and management. It will also discuss a Natural
England project which recognises the need to translate the National
Character Area (NCA) objectives into illustrative guidelines that work
at the local level. These guidelines will inform land management, land
use planning and community planning.

The workshop is the latest of a popular series of topical workshops
organised by the Landscape Character Network. It will appeal to anyone
with an interest in landscape protection, management and planning. It
will include presentations by practitioners and opportunities for open
discussion. The workshop is organised for Natural England and
administered by Countryscape.

This event is open to all. Numbers attending the workshop will be
limited to around 60 and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served
basis on receipt of payment. Cost of registration is £139.00 (plus VAT).
