The East Midlands Landscape Partnership (EMLP) was established in March 2009 and has worked on a number of key landscape products to provide a level of information that has not been available before. This information has added to the region’s evidence base to help everyone better understand and appreciate what makes our landscape what it is today and to help work together to take informed actions that will guide and allow us to take strong action for a better approach to the region’s future landscape protection, planning and management.
The East Midlands Region Landscape Character Assessment (EMRLCA) is one of these products and was prepared in April 2010 to increase understanding of the region’s varied landscape, by identifying distinctive, rare or special characteristics. EMRLCA presents objective, non-technical descriptions of each of the 31 regional landscape character types.
