A proposal to extend the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks

We would like to hear your views

We are very fortunate to have some fantastic landscapes in the North West of England, many of which are already legally protected as National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

For some years there has been discussion about whether the area between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales National Parks should have the same level of landscape protection. Natural England has now produced proposals for extending the two National Parks and this website seeks your views about these proposals.

PLEASE NOTE: the consultation is now closed to new registrations. If you require further clarification or if you have been given a specific extension and wish to respond online, please contact us.
