Consultation on proposed changes to the management plan
Have your say on the future of the Chilterns National Landscape!
The Chilterns National Landscape covers over 838km2 (324 square miles) across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire, and Bedfordshire. Its many rare species, sweeping chalk hills, flower-filled woodlands, globally rare chalk streams and quaint market towns attract locals and visitors alike.
The Chilterns Conservation Board (CCB) is responsible for preparing a management plan for the Chilterns National Landscape, which sets out how the landscape will be managed over the next five years. We are currently seeking feedback on the proposed updates to our existing plan, which has been extended by a year to the end of March 2025, on the direction of the Secretary of State.
The plan is written for all those who live, work, visit or have an interest in the future of the Chilterns and is the only plan for the whole of the Chilterns National Landscape. It contains a summary of issues facing the area and will influence and help co-ordinate other strategies and activities across local authority boundaries, including development plans and local nature recovery strategies.
We welcome your comments on the proposed changes to the plan, which is now available as part of a formal consultation.
You can find links to the proposed changes and survey to submit your response below.
The public consultation is now live and will run until Monday, 3 February 2025.
