Initial public feedback has prompted a renewed look at places that could be included – or dropped – from a new national park in northeast Wales. Natural Resources Wales (NRW), which is overseeing the assessment, has already rejected requests for 10 new areas to be added to the provisional map.

The Welsh Government wants to create the country's fourth national park. Outline proposals for the area to be included cover a sweep of land much larger than the existing Clwdian Range and Dee Valley AONB on which it is based – it extends from Gronant Dunes on the Flintshire coast to the Vyrnwy and Banwy Valleys in north Powys.

An engagement report, published by NRW on Thursday, highlighted the strong divide that exists between people who want to see a new national park and those who don’t. There was also support for certain areas to be added and in two places – Halkyn Mountain and much of Powys – strong backing for them being dropped.
