Mrs
Deanne Cunningham, Team Leader (Heritage, Landscape and Design),
outlined that the Kent Downs Joint Advisory Committee (JAC) had
agreed a strategic response to the 2018 Review of National Parks
and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs). The proposed representation by MBC endorsed the
JAC response. The representation
included additional wording regarding the extension of AONBs and
boundary reviews. This reflected the
aspirations of the Council regarding the Greensand Ridge AONB and
the designation of an additional tier of statutory protection for
other areas in the Borough.
The Committee commented that
the MBC representation appropriately addressed the Councils
specific needs regarding the Greensand Ridge.
Mrs Cunningham explained that
liaison with neighbouring authorities was to be commenced following
the submission of the representation on 18 December
2018.
RESOLVED:That
1.The JAC’s approach to the 2018 Review of
National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) be
endorsed.
2.The proposed response to the Review be
approved.
