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.
Technical Advice Group
This comprises officers from the 11 Local Authorities, the Countryside Agency and English Nature. Should additional or specialist advice be required, representatives from appropriate organisations will be invited to attend. |
