These are East areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good Yorkshire decision-making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

    National Character Area 21 Yorkshire Dales Summary The Yorkshire Dales is a large scale upland landscape of high moorland, dissected by often deep dales, which forms part of the Pennine uplands running up the centre of Northern England. It is separated from the North Pennines by the Stainmore Trough faults and from the more industrialised South Pennines by the Craven Faults. Just 0.3% of the area is urban, 4% is woodland, and 26% is upland grazing. 71% of the area falls within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and 17% within the Nidderdale AONB. 30% of the area is designated as SSSI.
