Minutes:
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.
Voting: Unanimous
