Have your say

Formal Statutory and Public Consultation

The next opportunity for you to have your say is during the formal Statutory and Public Consultation.  A date for this has yet to be confirmed but it is hoped that it will be held some time in the late spring/ early summer 2024. It will run for a period of 12 weeks.

Notice of the launch of the Statutory and Public Consultation will be advertised in press releases and a series of online communications, including this website. It will be possible to download or request all of the technical documents and submit your response either online or in writing. There will be a number of on-line webinars and face to face drop in events which will be advertised locally, including on this website which will all include detailed information on how you can have your say. If you would like to be kept informed, you can email the designation team on YorksWoldsDesignationProject@naturalengland.org.uk and we will keep you updated.

The online, interactive map below identifies the Candidate Area for designation, refined after the earlier engagement work. This will be updated to show the proposed Yorkshire Wolds AONB when the Statutory and Public Consultation launches and will reflect the findings of the full technical assessment work.

Designation Process Presentation

The following presentation, which this runs for approximately 21 minutes, was used in the webinars in 2022, providing an overview of the AONB designation process.
