Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps he is taking to safeguard England’s protected landscapes.

Our National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) are more important than ever for the nation’s health and wellbeing, as well as nature recovery and climate action.

The Government response to the Landscapes Review was published on Saturday 15 January and sets out measures to safeguard protected landscapes. The response is accompanied by a consultation that will run for 12 weeks until Saturday 09 April. For more information please see the official Government response page which also links to the consultation: Landscapes review (National Parks and AONBs): government response - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
