Introduction
The National Park Management Plan provides the framework that encourages everyone to work together to achieve national park purposes. It is not a plan for an individual organisation or group but a plan for the place. It is, therefore, a partnership plan. It is the single most important strategic document for the Peak District National Park. It shares with everyone what the main issues and priorities are. It then sets out how, together, we are going to tackle those issues over the next five years.
Since 2007 the National Park Management Plan has been overseen by an Advisory Group of partners who have monitored delivery and provided advice to the organisations involved. The group contains representatives from the following organisations:
- Business Peak District
- Derbyshire County Council
- Derbyshire Wildlife Trust
- Farmers & Land Managers Forum
- Friends of the Peak District
- Local Access Forum
- National Park Authority
- National Trust
- Natural England (coordinating input from the Environment Agency, Historic England and Forestry Commission)
- Peak Park Parishes Forum
- Rural Action Derbyshire
- Sheffield City Council
- Staffordshire Moorlands District Council
- Experience Peak District and Derbyshire
The management plan is organised around six main themes known as Areas of Impact, which are in turn broken down into a series of intentions.
