Future Landscapes
We welcome the government's recent launch of a consultation on a land use framework and a new, more strategic approach to managing land use in England.
Land is a finite resource and the many, often conflicting, demands on our landscape need to be considered together when we make decisions about landscape change. A multi-functional approach is key to making better decisions.
In 2024, LUC wrote Future Landscapes for Natural England, a scene-setting document that outlines how landscapes must evolve to tackle climate change, biodiversity loss, and the well-being crisis. It calls for decision-making around all forms of change and development to be rooted in an understanding of the landscape; how it evolved, how it functions, and how it is perceived and valued by people.
A multi-functional approach to land use is key to making better decisions, and Landscape Character Assessment is one of the tools that can guide positive landscape change.
