Issue details

Summary
The Countryside and Rights of Way (CROW) Act 2000 requires local authorities to produce, adopt and keep under review Management Plans for Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), now National Landscapes. The Kent Downs National Landscape covers part of the western and southern areas of Medway. Working through the Kent Downs National Landscape Unit and with other authorities in the Kent Downs NL, a review has been undertaken to update the current plan. All 12 local authorities with land area within the Kent Downs NL are legally required to adopt the same NL Management Plan. This report will propose adoption of the revised document, which strongly reflects the existing, already adopted plan.
