From volunteers on nature conservation connect with nature. projects, to businesses working to promote sustainable tourism, it’s great to hear of the enthusiasm and commitment of the local people who hold their AONBs so dear. I am pleased to see that this management plan demonstrates how AONB Partnerships can continue to protect these precious AONBs are, and will continue to be, landscapes of change. Management plans such as environments despite the significant challenges they face. With a this are vital in ensuring these changes are for the better. I would like to thank all those changing climate, the increasing demands of a growing population who were involved in bringing this plan together and I wish you every success in bringing and in difficult economic times, I believe AONBs represent just the it to fruition. sort of community-driven, collaborative approach needed to ensure our natural environment is maintained for generations to come. AONB Partnerships have been the architects of a landscape-scale approach to land management. This approach is a key feature of the Government’s Natural Environment White Paper and emphasises the need to manage ecosystems in an integrated fashion, Lord de Mauley linking goals on wildlife, water, soil and landscape, and working at a scale that respects Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State natural systems. at the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Jon Sparks Jon Sparks Chairman’s Foreword The Arnside & Silverdale Area of Outstanding Beauty is an extraordinary place, recognised for its amazing diversity of habitats, and of plants, birds and butterflies. The stunning limestone pavements, ancient woodlands, intimate orchards and meadows and an impressive coastline make this area one of England’s finest landscapes. The area’s future is dependent on people working together to conserve and enhance it. This Management Plan sets out how the AONB Partnership will do this over the next five years and builds on previous significant achievements in caring for this special place. The comprehensive consultation process carried out whilst preparing this Plan validated much of the activity that the AONB Partnership is already engaged in and has helped identify new issues and areas of activity. Many thanks to all those who took part! The Plan reflects a number of significant changes which have occurred over the last five years including publication of the Natural Environment White Paper, adoption of the National Planning Policy Framework and major initiatives such as creation of the Morecambe Bay Limestones and Wetlands Nature Improvement Area and development of Local Nature Partnerships. Partnership working is playing an ever-increasing role in delivering the AONB Management Plan and the AONB Partnership is well placed to meet the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Everyone has a role to play in looking after the Arnside & Silverdale AONB, from local communities and farmers to businesses and individuals. Working together we can make a real difference for this area and its future.

Much of our national infrastructure for water, waste, transport and energy requires a fundamental rethink. We need to regenerate urban and rural communities, build more homes, strengthen social cohesion and establish food security; but all at a time when capital investment is very limited, the UK economy is fragile, the global market place is increasingly competitive and climate change is a growing concern. There is a false perception that good design is an expensive luxury. Now is precisely the time to focus on utility and function put together beautifully. Any action that changes the appearance and condition of a place must consider its effect on the wider landscape. It is vital to see the bigger picture. This is the role of landscape architecture. Landscape architecture is rooted in an understanding of how the environment works and what makes each place unique. It is a blend of science and art, vision and thought. It is a creative profession skilled in strategic planning, delivery and management. Landscape architects bring knowledge of natural sciences, environmental law and planning policy.

  • Arnside and Silverdale AONB Management Plan 2019-2024
    Appendix 1 Arnside & Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Management Plan 2019-2024 (Final Version) Arnside & Silverdale AONB Partnership, May 2019 1 Ministerial Foreword I am fortunate that England’s Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty are part of my Ministerial responsibilities. Whether it be rolling hills, sweeping coastline or a tranquil village, spending time in an AONB can stir the heart and lift the spirit. This is a pivotal moment for all AONBs. The Government has set its ambition in the 25 Year Environment Plan which states clearly the importance of natural beauty as part of our green future, while AONBs retain the highest status of protection for landscape through national planning policy. Leaving the EU brings with it an opportunity to develop a better system for supporting our farmers and land managers, who play such a vital role as stewards of the landscape. And the Review of National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty led by Julian Glover - the first of its kind for generations - will make recommendations to make sure our designated landscapes can flourish in the years ahead. In my visits to AONBs around the country, I have been struck by the passion of many people - farmers, volunteers, and hard-working staff - for the beautiful places they live and work. In this spirit I am delighted to welcome publication of this Statutory Management Plan for Arnside & Silverdale AONB. It is significant that this plan will be delivered in partnership by those who value Arnside & Silverdale AONB. I would like to thank all those involved in preparation of this document, and wish you the best of success in bringing it to fruition.
