Management Plan Review: 2025-2030

The Nidderdale National Landscape Management Plan is currently being reviewed and a new one developed with ambitions and priorities for the next five years. Nidderdale National Landscape is the new name for the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

In September and October 2024 we ran a public consultation to enable local residents, partner organisations and stakeholders to feed into the plan. We thank everyone that has taken the time to respond. We are currently analysing the responses and will update on this as soon as we are able.

About the Management Plan

The Management Plan is a key mechanism for achieving the purposes of conserving and enhancing the natural beauty of the Nidderdale National Landscape and increasing the understanding and enjoyment of the National Landscape’s special qualities.

The Management Plan is the only plan to guide the management of the National Landscape as a whole. This plan is ultimately about partnership working to make the vision a reality; it’s a plan for the area and all those groups and organisations that have an interest in the National Landscape. This includes land managers, members of rural communities, third sector bodies, the local authority and Government agencies.

The draft plan will be published on here and there will be a chance to make comments.
