The report will set out the two Management Plans for the two National Landscapes that fall within the responsibility of North Yorkshire Council, as per the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 which requires local authorities whose area includes a National Landscape to prepare and review on a 5-yearly cycle management plans for that protected landscape.
Agreement is sought to adopt The Howardian Hills National Landscape Management Plan and the Nidderdale National Landscape Management Plan. Both plans set out objectives relevant to their local area to deliver their statutory purpose to conserve and enhance natural beauty.
