Purpose: To consider adoption of the draft Management Plan for The Cranborne Chase National Landscape following public consultation.

Content: That Cabinet approve the endorsement of the Cotswold Management Plan and adoption of the Cranborne Chase Partnership Plan (Management Plan).   Reason for Proposal Section 89 of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 requires the council to, ‘prepare and publish a Management Plan which formulates [their] policy for the management of the AONB and for carrying out of their functions in relation to it.’’Adoption of the management plans prepared by each National Landscape, for and on behalf of the local authorities that fall within the protected areas, helps fulfil this part of the requirement.
