Ar-Enpa-04.09.12-Item 6.Pdf ITEM 6 EXMOOR NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY 4 September 2012 FINAL ASSESSMENT OF THE EXMOOR NATIONAL PARK MANAGEMENT PLAN 2007-12 Report of the Chief Executive Purpose of Report: To provide members with a final summary of the progress made against targets set out in the Exmoor National Park Management Plan 2007-12 Legal and Equality Implications: Section 65(4) Environment Act 1995 – provides powers to the National Park Authority to “do anything which in the opinion of the Authority, is calculated to facilitate, or is conducive or incidental to- (a) the accomplishment of the purposes mentioned in s. 65 (1) [National Park purposes] (b) the carrying out of any functions conferred on it by virtue of any other enactment.” Section 66(1)(4) Environment Act 1995 places a duty on a National Park Authority to publish a National Park Management Plan and review the plan at intervals of not more than five years. The equality and human rights impact of this report have been assessed as having no adverse impact on any particular group or individual. Financial and Risk Implications: None arising from this report. RECOMMENDATIONS: It is recommended that the Authority: 1. NOTES the progress made against the targets set in the National Park Management Plan adopted in 2007. 2. COMMENDS the contribution made by partners and the community over the past five years to bring about significant progress against the objectives set out in the Plan. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Exmoor National Park Management Plan 2007-12 was adopted in April 2007. The Plan represented a significant development of previous Management Plans with a clear definition of Exmoor’s special qualities; a shared vision for the National Park; a series of supporting objectives, and specific targets to be achieved over the plan period, each with an identified lead organisation. 1.2 A National Park Management Plan Implementation Board was established to oversee progress against the Plan and partners were brought together on a number of occasions in the Implementation Forum. Periodic progress reports were also provided to the Resources & Performance Committee. 1 1.3 Some strengths of the target-led approach were a clear statement of actions to be achieved to aid monitoring and clarity of leadership. The approach has had an important motivating effect and has focused action by a range of organisations towards a set of common goals. 1.4 It was recognised at the time the Plan was drafted, that the approach to target setting needed to be a flexible one as some targets would be achieved, some may turn out not to be achievable, new targets may emerge, and some would make a more significant contribution to Plan objectives than others. These factors were considered by the Implementation Board as the Plan progressed and a revised set of targets was adopted by the Authority in October 2010 following a mid-term progress review. 2. FINAL ASSESSMENT OF ACHIEVEMENTS 2.1 The attached report sets out a summary of achievements against the Management Plan targets adopted in October 2010. An assessment has been made of progress against each target to provide an overall picture. The assessment also provides a short statement of the status of each target at 31 July 2012. 2.2 Whilst the assessment is subjective and qualitative rather than ‘scientific’, it does provide an indication of the high degree of concerted action that has taken place over the past four to five years with some significant achievements led by the Authority and its partners. 2.3 Ultimately, action led by the plan can be best assessed by considering the overall trends in the condition of Exmoor’s special qualities. Many factors impact on the state of the park and many of these are outside local control or require concerted action over the long term. However, this does not diminish the excellent work that has been achieved over the past four to five years through action by many people and organisations committed to achieving the best for the National Park, its environment and its communities. Nigel Stone Chief Executive 14 August 2012 2 EXMOOR NATIONAL PARK MANAGEMENT PLAN 2007-2012 ‘Enhancing the qualities that make Exmoor National Park special’ Final achievement report prepared in July 2012 Based on plan objectives and targets as revised in April 2010 Exmoor is designated as a National Park for the following statutory purposes: To conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of the area To promote opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of its special qualities by the public The National Park Management Plan is the key mechanism for focussing and co-ordinating the effort to achieve the purposes for which the National Park was designated.

Okehampton Parkway: background & discussion This should be the location of A Look at the Bude Branch a new passing loop. To accommodate the new track Next Meetings the widened platform would Planned Footpath at Tiverton Parkway be narrowed back to its original width, approximately So Near Yet so Far where the light and CCTV Disruptions poles are shown. Picture Gallery Promoting Britain's Railway for Passengers and Freight CHAIRMAN'S INTRODUCTION I wrote about the need for more passing places between Exeter and Yeovil Junction in our last newsletter of December 2016. Nothing changes! We still don’t have them and incidents continue to happen. How useful they would have been for diverting all the delayed trains, rather than just a few, following the recent fatality on the railway north of Taunton on 7th November. Railfuture will continue to press for improvements to the Waterloo line to allow more trains to run. Similarly we will continue to press for the complete reopening of the Exeter to Plymouth via Okehampton line. It is needed every time the sea disrupts train services through Dawlish, when the line is closed for planned engineering work and to increase line capacity west of Exeter. We cannot campaign for more trains to Dawlish and Teignmouth without recognising that this uses up line capacity, that could otherwise be used for developing more long distance services and freight.
