Review of National Parks and AONBs > call for evidence

The government’s review of designated areas, led by Julian Glover, will consider whether more national parks are needed - and that includes the possibility of a Dorset-East Devon/Jurassic Coast National Park:
Futures Forum: Support growing for a Jurassic National Park
Futures Forum: Support growing for a Jurassic National Park > press release from Dorset
Futures Forum: Support growing for a Jurassic National Park > the government's review of national parks has "cross-county and cross-party support for conserving and enhancing a landscape that includes the World Heritage Jurassic Coast, inland Ridgeways and the area of Thomas Hardy’s novels"

The government is taking the process further by opening up things to the public:

Landscapes Review: Call for Evidence



Closes 18 Dec 2018
Opened 20 Oct 2018

Overview

The Government has asked for an independent review of England's National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs). You can find more about the work of the review and our Terms of Reference. Already the review team, led by Julian Glover and a panel with a range of experiences and interests, has carried out visits and meetings in many parts of England.

We will do more in the months ahead - but we want everyone to have a chance to contribute, whether you live in a National Park or AONB, run a business in them, enjoy visiting, care about landscapes and biodiversity, or represent an organisation with views that might shape and improve our findings. 

The questions (available as a list in the related documents section below) are a guide: please do not feel you must answer them all – or have to write at great length. We have not set a word length on answers, as we know some people and organisations will want to reply in detail on specific points. However, we ask that where possible you keep each individual answer to no more than 500 words. It is not necessary to reply to every question so please ignore those which you do not think relevant to you. You may find it easier to write your answers elsewhere before pasting them into the text boxes which follow.

Thank you for your interest.
