Landscape conservation policy and traditional farm buildings: a case study of field barns in the Yorkshire Dales national park
The effectiveness of policies intended to protect the built environment in rural Britain is examined in the context of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, a large part of which has also been designated as an Environmentally Sensitive Area. Further protection is given in some areas by a local Barns and Walls Conservation Project. Three survey areas are identified which have been subject to different levels of protection. Within each area the condition of a sample of 100 field barns in 1997 is compared with the results of a baseline survey carried out in 1985. It is shown that, although a high proportion of field barns still retained their traditional appearance, significant changes in their condition had occurred in all the areas by 1997. Few of these changes appeared to be the result of deliberate actions by farmers, which suggests that the various protective measures have not been fully effective in arresting the long‐term process of deterioration and dereliction that is leading to the loss of one of the most distinctive features of the Dales landscape.
