Have your say

Provisional Candidate Area

The Provisional Candidate Area identifies those part(s) of the Yorkshire Wolds landscape which may have the potential to be designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

You can click on the map image below to view an interactive map showing the Provisional Candidate Area in the context of the wider landscape and other, existing designations.

We ran an early engagement exercise in 2022 which gathered views on the Provisional Candidate Map.  The exercise used an online or paper form, an app, webinars and drop-in sessions in the Candidate Area and adjacent areas.

Please note that the early engagement exercise has finished.
