It has taken a while to prepare the proceedings as usual, but a copy is now enclosed and I hope you find it interesting. None of this work would have been possible without the help of volunteers. would particularly like to thank Dennis Dey and his team of helpers who organised the event, including the excellent lunch, and Harry Montgomery who collated, edited and organised the mailing out of the proceedings. I hope to circulate a copy of the proceedings to everyone who is interested; if you think I may have missed anyone or got a wrong address, please let me know. The document will also be on sale to the general public for £4.00 + p&p. Although there is no charge to recorders, our finances are severely stretched so any donations towards the cost would be greatly appreciated. The date for the next seminar has been set for Saturday, 25th February 1995.

    South Downs National Park Authority Authority Monitoring Report 01 April 2019 to 31 March 2020 December 2020 1 Executive Summary This is the sixth Authority Monitoring Report (AMR) produced by the South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) and it is the first AMR to be produced since the adoption of the South Downs Local Plan (SDLP) in July 2019. The end of the monitoring year, March 31 2020, marked exactly a decade since the South Downs National Park Authority came into being. The South Downs National Park was designated on 18 December 2002 under Part 2 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 by the South Downs (National Park) Designation Order 2002. This was the day when 1,600km2 of England’s most cherished lowland landscape was able to enjoy management, through the planning system, for the enjoyment of the nation as a special place for natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage. This AMR helps to monitor how effective the National Park Authority has been on delivering on its purposes and duty. The AMR reports on a number of planning documents including the SDLP, numerous neighbourhood development plans and adopted and emerging waste and minerals plans. The AMR reports on the financial year 2019-20, which is the sixth year of the 2014-2033 plan period for the SDLP. The monitoring year was only affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in its final month. This will obviously have had a significant impact on development in the current year, which will be reported on in the 2021 AMR.
