Conservation designation

Protection of an area through a specific conservation decision.

Definition

A conservation designation can protect nature, landscapes and cultural heritage. Its decision establishes the boundary and provisions, which can differ between areas.

Why it matters

The Conservation areas layer provides a route to the decision. The boundary alone does not establish which activities are permitted. Read the specific decision through the feature link.
