    Arnside & Silverdale AONB Management Plan 2019-24

    The AONB Management Plan is just that – a plan for the AONB area. It provides a strategic framework to guide all activities that might affect the AONB in ways that conserve and enhance the natural beauty and special qualities of the area over the 5-year period 2019-24.

    The AONB Management Plan is a statutory plan which sets out a shared long-term Vision for the area. It describes the broad range of issues facing this area and a framework for action to conserve and enhance the area for future generations.

    In order to achieve effective conservation and enhancement of the area, working together in partnership is crucial; local authorities, communities, organisations, landowners/managers and businesses must work jointly to successfully implement the Plan.

    The aims of the Management Plan, which reflect the AONB purposes, are to:

    • conserve and enhance the natural beauty and special qualities of the AONB
    • promote and support sustainable agriculture, forestry and   other rural industries
    • promote the social and economic wellbeing of people living  within the AONB
    • increase public understanding and enjoyment of the AONB
    • meet the recreational needs of local residents and visitors alike – where these  are compatible with the purpose of AONB designation.
