DNPA Landscape Character Types

The work to identify LCT’s across Devon was coordinated by Devon County Council. It sought to identify more detailed landscape typologies that can be applied across district and national park boundaries but at a scale that could assist with the landscape management and planning policy development. The work on Dartmoor was carried out by Land Use Consultants in 2009/10 and led to the identification of 3 Landscape Character Types unique to Dartmoor within the County. These were unsettled high moorland, upland moorland with tors and upland river valleys. Other LCT’s on Dartmoor followed landscapes types from the Devon menu found elsewhere in the county.
