National Importance Pilot Projects - Landscape-Scale Assessment: A Pilot Study Using the Yorkshire Dales Historic Environment

Author(s): James Brightman, Robert White, Miles Johnson

Commissioned as one of the National Importance Programme Pilot Projects in 2014, this study provides a high-level appraisal of issues relating to landscape-scale heritage sites in rural areas, where nationally important sites that are not currently, or are unable to be designated, can contain many individual monuments. It looks at theoretical and practical approaches to the issues of identification, characterisation and delimiting of sites, data management and access, and conservation and site management, including an assessment of extant methodologies and approaches. Three case studies highlight practical implications. It concludes with a discussion and brief recommendations on the applicability of those key approaches identified and how the most pertinent issues may be addressed.
