Producing a Management Plan is a statutory requirement for every National Landscape. Its purpose is to:
- Highlight the special qualities and significance of the National Landscape.
- Present a vision for the future of the National Landscape.
- Set out objectives and policies to secure the vision.
- Identify what needs to be done, by whom and when.
- State the condition of the National Landscape and how the effectiveness of its management will be monitored.
- Reflect the views and aspirations of a wide range of National Landscape stakeholders and parties with an interest in it.
- Co-ordinate the work of different partner organisations.
