Dorset National Landscape Management Plan Consultation

Overview

Dorset Council and its partners in the Dorset National Landscape Partnership have a statutory responsibility for reviewing and developing a 5-year management plan for the landscape. These are plans for the Dorset National Landscape Partnership and team, individual partner organisations, farmers and landowners, communities and businesses. The purpose is to set out how we all may contribute towards the conservation and enhancement of natural beauty in this special area. A new draft plan has been developed by the National Landscape team with input from a wide range of partners.

The plan has 8 chapters after a vision and foreword.

It is available to download or read online here: https://dorset-nl.org.uk/resources/draft-management-plan-2026-31/

You can also pick up a paper version at libraries in the Dorset National Landscape or request one from the team by contacting Caroline Richards caroline.richards@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk / 01305 224717
