Topic Groups

Following the adoption of the Management Plan in 2004 three Topic Groups were convened to begin work on a potential landscape enhancement programme, planning issues, and matters concerning access, including Rights of Way. Their work, and executive matters on behalf of the Partnership Panel, is co-ordinated by the Technical Advice Group.

This comprises officers from the 9 Local Authorities, and Natural England. Should additional or specialist advice be required, representatives from appropriate organisations will be invited to attend.
