Default South Pennines

The South Pennines - that part of the Pennine chain lying between the Yorkshire Dales and the Peak District, and including Ilkley Moor - is the only upland area in England which is not protected wither as a National Park or as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

A group has come together to campaign for National park status for this area - if you're interested, please look at their website:

Hum, that'll stir up a hornets nest. Being in a National Park don't half
put a lot of planning restrictions in place and another layer of
beaurocracy if you want to do anything. Personally I think they'd be
better going for AONB status first then try and move on to NP.

Cheers
Dave.
In the middle of the North Pennines AONB.

I tend to agree that the suggestion of AONB may be more achievable and if my experience of our local AONB (Clwydian Range), that confers a certain amount of protection and possibly less jobsworthery.
To get all of the Pennines in one big NP would be a nice dream but very unlikely to happen so a gentle approach is probably needed.

Oh dear! Yet another part of the countryside to be ruined by the environmentalists.

You'd prefer it to be ruined by developers, perhaps?

No I would prefer it to be managed by the people who farm it without any petty bureaucracy and recent clueless graduates making it more difficult for them.

Much of this area is close to existing conurbations who have been presented with challenging housing targets. It is cheaper to build on greenfield sites, and land available for development attracts higher prices than agricultural land. Unprotected farming land is at risk.
