Yorkshire Dales National Park - Management Plan survey

[Emsy]

The Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority are updating their National Park Management Plan, and are asking anyone who cares about the Yorkshire Dales to complete a short survey to "have your say on what the priorities should be for this special place over the next 5 years".
Details here: https://www.yorkshiredales.org.uk/about/national-park-management-plan/
Deadline to complete the survey is 26th February 2024.

Priority 1 - don't drag Nidderdale into the park.....

Priority 1 - don't drag Nidderdale into the park.....

Has this been proposed? Why would it be a bad thing?
(to be clear, I'm not saying Nidderdale should be in YD, I've just never thought about it before)

 

[Emsy]

Its not proposed for inclusion. Nidderdale has AONB status, so no need for additional landscape protections. I could be wrong, but I don't think it was even considered for inclusion when the Park was previously extended in 2016.

It's a 1-question survey. Choose 6 things from a list of about 12 and put them in order of preference. There is a space at the bottom to add in something else, so I put "improve access to caves and potholes".

Nidderdale in to YDNP has been talked about
