Evaluation Areas for a New National Park in Wales September 2024
A GIS dataset showing the boundaries of the Evaluation Areas for a new National Park in Wales. This is the third data set in a series that supports the new National Park in Wales project. The Evaluation Areas are subdivisions of the Area Evaluated for Natural Beauty and Recreation. The identification of the Evaluation Areas is primarily based on the LANDMAP Visual and Sensory aspect layer and the associated level 3 typology e.g. Hills, Lower Plateau & Scarp Slopes. As such, nearly all Evaluation Area boundaries within the Area of Search follow the exact Visual and Sensory aspect layer boundaries. In most instances, however, the EAs are formed of several aspect areas. In addition to the LANDMAP data, the identification of Evaluation Areas has considered the indicative boundaries of the National Character Areas, and at a local level, the mapping of local landscape character areas from a range of published landscape character assessments. As far as possible, the Evaluation Area mapping has also considered broad patterns of aspect area values. Where feasible, the mapping of the Evaluation Areas reflects the boundary of the National Landscape. Although where this splits an aspect area, subdivisions have been made where a relatively extensive area of non-National Landscape exists.

Please be aware that the boundary has been drawn at a scale to show the general outline rather a precise boundary. Therefore, this dataset should not be used for analysis on a small scale to avoid inaccurate results and impact any interpretation. It is important to note that the Evaluation Areas for a New National Park in Wales are not the final boundary and could be subject to change. It has no legal status and is not a material consideration.
