The UK has signed and ratified the Council of Europe’s European Landscape Convention. It came<br />
into force in the UK in March 2007. This convention defines landscape as ‘an area, as perceived<br />
by people, whose character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and/or human<br />
factors’. The definition applies across the whole territory of member states and not only to areas<br />
which have been formally designated for protection. It includes urban and peri-urban landscapes<br />
as well as those in rural areas and on the coast, and ‘everyday or degraded landscapes’ as well<br />
as ‘those that might be considered outstanding’. Member states undertake to integrate landscape<br />
into their regional and town planning policies. Additionally, the convention stresses the importance<br />
of involving local communities in landscape protection, management and planning.<br />
