PLANS to enhance the special character of parts of Sedbergh and Dent have been published online for public consultation.

Consultants have been commissioned by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority (YDNPA) to assess the quality of the built environment in the two conservation areas and to identify ways in which it could be improved in the future.

Now the consultants have produced appraisals of the conservation areas that take on board comments and ideas made by local residents.

Stuart Parsons, the YDNPA's Member Champion for Conservation of Cultural Heritage, said: "We have been talking to local stakeholders including parish and district councils about the appraisals but this is the first time we have carried out a large-scale consultation using the internet. We hope it will generate a lot of comments.

The appraisals for Dent and Sedbergh can be found at www.yorkshiredales.org.uk and comments should be submitted to the YDNPA by the end of February so that a report can be considered at the authority's March meeting, Over the next few weeks the authority will be adding appraisals the Settle-Carlisle Railway and Farfield Mill, Sedbergh.
