Here, the quality of each view isnot only determined by the grassed area itself but, more importantly, itsimmediate surroundings which define the space, including all structures,vegetation and the wider landscape alike.(6) The last set of images view on the central square. The first photo wastaken from the same location as View 3, but into the opposite directionand focussing onto the fountain (figure 20). It also shows the three mainold buildings in the village and the Stocks Tree, which is a replacement tothe original one felled in 1996. The cobbled square around the fountain isan effective contrast to the village green, with attractive glimpses to someof the narrow lanes as well as more extensive views southeast (figure17). This viewpoint links the Green to the closely built-up lanes andmodest terraces, making it the very heart of the village.22

Now the Green is hidden behind trees anda large block of cottages, yet the hills are still visible in the background.Walled gardens of the nearby terraced cottages contribute to a matureand secluded character of the public space (figure 21).Figure 21: View 7 onto centralsquare (photo © Gaby Rose,YNDPA, 2009)To conclude, the atmosphere that greets the visitor in Langcliffe is of avery tranquil nature, which is in complete contrast to the noisy road andbusy market town of Settle nearby. Likewise, the existence of a lateeighteenth-centuryindustrial community seems now very remote.4.4 Character AnalysisThis section is key to the appraisal. It unravels the character of theLangcliffe Conservation Area by considering its different character zones,land uses, buildings and other structures, local details and traditionalmaterials, biodiversity, general condition including positive, neutral andnegative factors, as well as potential problems and pressures to the area.a) Definition of Character Areas or ZonesFollowing the spatial analysis (see 4.3.a), the Langcliffe ConservationArea can now be divided into four different character zones (figure 22),which are described in more detail below:23
