Overview
The regional statements and maps are based on the 159 National Character Areas, which are used by Natural England and other bodies to inform a range of environmental activities and to monitor landscape change. The statement for each National Character area provides a brief overview of the landscape character and its historic environment character, and a brief description of the opportunities for woodland expansion.
Accompanying the National Character Area descriptions is a project report with details of the methodology used to produce the map, the data sources used, and a summary of the results. The report also includes a suggested framework assessment template for woodland expansion. The framework assessment is intended to inform the design and siting of new woodland in a manner that respects the historic character of places and protects the heritage assets within them. A grid of woodland potential is available to download as a shapefile.
