Dorset National Landscape (AONB) Interim Management Plan

From: Cabinet - Tuesday, 17th December, 2024 6.30 pm - December 17, 2024

The Dorset National Landscape Management Plan (hereafter “Plan”) is a material consideration in planning decisions. The current plan expires in this year. Normally a new full plan would have been adopted early in this financial year, but the National Landscapes were granted an extension as various pieces of critical government guidance and related policy had not been completed. In the letter granting the extension, the minster laid out the need for an “plan on a page” to cover the period between expiry and adoption of a new full plan. This interim plan meets these needs, and has been approved by the Dorset National Landscape Partnership Board.
