Crown Lands - Draft Management Plan
The draft Management Plan for the Crown Lands of the New Forest is now available for consultation. We would welcome views about this document and its content to enable it to be finalised by July 2008. The current Management Plan for the Crown Lands of the New Forest was first produced in 2001. It is a component part of the Special Area of Conservation (SAC) Plan produced as part of the LIFEII Project. The core direction for the work of the Forestry Commission set out in this draft Plan remains unchanged from previously. The revised Plan does however pick up on changes in national, regional or local policy, for instance in relation to the National Park or ancient woodlands, both of which are "new" since the Plan was first written in 2001. The Management Plan for the Crown Lands is termed "part B" because it will form part of a larger Management Plan for the Forestry Commission additionally covering the forest estate in Dorset and South Wiltshire. The draft Plan is broken down into eight sections covering the principle aspects of the work of the Forestry Commission. Please click on the links below to view each section of the plan (these files are all in PDF format). Alternatively, two hard copy versions will be available to view at the National Park Authority Offices in Lymington and The Forestry Commission Office in Lyndhurst. Earlier in 2007 many people contributed views to our "issues and options" consultation and these have helped to shape the draft Plan before you now. The Forestry Commission requested comments based on the draft management plan, these have now been collated into this Summary Response paper (266k PDF) Deputy Surveyor of the New Forest Michael Seddon
