Item 2 MP Annual Action Plan Item 2 Appendix National Park Authority Meeting 21 March 2012 Northumberland National Park Management Plan Draft Annual Action Plan 2012/13 National Park Management Plan Annual Action Plan 2012/13 Introduction The Northumberland National Park Management Plan – Inspiring Landscapes, Thriving Communities sets out a long term vision, outcomes and objectives to guide the future of Northumberland National Park to 2014. The National Park Management Plan was developed with a wide range of positive, local people, businesses and stakeholder groups and enjoys a high level of ownership. The achievement of the objectives set out in the Management Plan will require the commitment and efforts not only of the National Park Authority, but of a wide range of partners and stakeholders. This Annual Action Plan sets out the detailed actions of the National Park Authority and its partners to deliver the objectives of the Management Plan during the second year to 31 March 2013. It has been prepared by the Northumberland National Park Management Plan Partnership, comprising: Natural England, English Heritage, Forestry Commission, Defence Infrastructure Organisation, Northumberland Tourism Limited, Hadrian’s Wall Heritage Ltd, Northumberland National Park and County Joint Local Access Forum, Northumberland County Council, West Newton Estates (representing Estate interests) and the Environment Agency. In addition a number of other partners have contributed to the development of this Action Plan including: Northumbria Police, Northumberland Wildlife Trust, Warmzone, Energy Saving Trust and Northwoods. In addition to the specific actions, this Action Plan contains indicators and associated targets to enable an assessment of progress of delivering the vision and outcomes. The Management Plan Partnership will openly and regularly report on progress in delivery of the Management Plan and the National Park Authority website will be updated half yearly to include information on the achievement of actions and other key monitoring information www.northumberlandnationalpark.org.uk/npmanagementplan.htm. The State of the Park report provides an annual update on progress. Comments on this Annual Action Plan are welcomed together with any suggestions on how the actions contained within it may be supported.

List of further support Introduction So, you want to develop a community renewable energy project… Background The inspiration for the production of this brochure came largely from the process of developing the promotional brochure for the fourteen projects supported by the Northumberland Strategic Partnership Renewable Energy Capital Grant Scheme, which was made available in 2007-08 to support a number of demonstration schemes. In talking to the recipients of the grant, many of the people involved in developing projects heaved a big sigh and proclaimed that they were glad If only I had….. that they’d got there in the end but “if only I had ….” or “if I was to do it again I’d make sure…..”. Many of these experiences came from community groups or small businesses who had faced interacting with not only the renewable energy sector, but the whole process of contracting large works for the first time with little more than home renovation experience to go on. If I was to do it It became apparent that much of the real value of again I would…. supporting such projects was not only the resulting demonstration of the technology but also the opportunity to capture this learning process that individuals and groups have been through to reach a successful project.
