LANDMAP

Client: Countryside Council for Wales

TACP were commissioned to act as co-ordinating consultant for one of three pilot studies testing Landmap - an innovative landscape assessment and decision making process for Wales. The study involved the co-ordination of information receive from a number of aspect specialists in order to produce landscape policy areas, tolerance assessments and appropriate management strategies.

In addition, indicative development policies, design and management guidelines were drafted. The pilot study was guided by a Local Steering Group consisting of representatives of the local authority, statutory organisations and the local community. An evaluation of the Landmap process assisted in the production of a handbook as guidance for those carrying out similar assessments throughout Wales.

Further LANDMAP studies recently undertaken include;

• Gwynedd Landscape Strategy/LANDMAP - Gwynedd Council
• Landscapes Working for Newport - Newport County Borough Council
• Ynys Mon LANDMAP - Isle of Anglesey County Council
• LANDMAP co-ordination - Bridgend, Caerphilly and Rhondda Cynon Taff Consortium
