Decision details

To seek approval of the adoption of the Kent Downs & the High Weald AONB Management Plan revisions.

The Kent Downs AONB and the High Weald AONB Management Plans both support Bold Steps for Kent by helping to achieve a sustainable rural economy, supporting (through education, access and experiences) both visitors and residents alike and using the landscape to help to tackle disadvantage in rural Kent. Raising funds through grant applications brings money into the region, enabling demonstration projects across much of rural Kent.

Financial Implications: None
Legal Implications: Adoption of AONB Management Plans and their revisions is a statutory duty under S85 CRoW Act 2000.
Equality Implications: None

The matter is referred to in the P&E Division Business Plan.
