Purpose

Every five years, the County
Council is required to prepare and publish an up-to-date plan that
‘formulates their policy for the management of the area and
for the carrying out of their functions in relation to
it’.
 
As the High Weald National
Landscape Partnership crosses several administrative boundaries,
the County Council is required to act jointly to prepare the
plan.  In the High Weald, this
requirement is delivered through the High Weald Joint Advisory
Committee.  The Management Plan
presented to the County Council covers the period
2024-2029.

Decision

The Cabinet Member for Environment and Climate
Change has approved the adoption of the High Weald AONB Management
Plan 2024-29 (attached as Appendix A).
