Management Plan
Every National Park has a National Park Management Plan. It’s the most important document for the National Park, setting out how the National Park and our partners will work together to achieve shared objectives for the future management of the National Park.
The Management Plan will look 5-10 years ahead and will establish shared objectives and priorities and influence not only the work of Northumberland National Park Authority, but also a host of partners that the Authority works alongside.
Northumberland National Park Authority has a duty to prepare a National Park Management Plan as the framework for the delivery of the National Park’s statutory purposes and duty. The Management Plan is the single most important document for the National Park, setting out our guiding principles, vision, objectives and actions for managing the National Park.
Northumberland National Park Authority is starting work on a new Management Plan that will set out a clear vision and direction of travel for the Park and its partners for the next 20-25 years, with objectives for what we’d like to achieve from 2022-27. Our members have agreed five themes which will form the basis of our thinking, namely:
- A park for everyone
- Communities and rural economy
- Natural capital and making space for nature
- Cultural capital
- Climate change
The Authority is reviewing what should go into the new plan and are keen to involve a wide-range of people. Working groups will be established and an active consultation process will take place at various stages until Spring 2022.
