The CROW Act 2000
introduced a statutory duty on local authorities to prepare
a management plan for an AONB. This duty passes to a Conservation
Board in any AONB where they exist. The Management Plan comprises
a strategy for the AONB, which is reviewed every five years.
It is complemented by an Action Plan which states what type
of work will be undertaken in order to implement the strategy.
This plan is principally to provide a framework within which
the local authorities, government bodies and Conservation Board
operate.
The Chilterns Management Plan 'The Framework for Action 2002-2007'
covers a wide range of issues including nature conservation,
land and water management, recreation and access, planning
and development, the rural economy and transport. There is
also a 3 year Action Plan with detailed activities, outputs
and timescales.
