The National Park Management Plan is subject to Sustainability Appraisal and Strategic Environmental Assessment in accordance with European and National directives.
These processes are used to assess the Plan's policies against a suite of sustainability and environmental objectives. Similarly Management Plan policies have been scrutinised for their significant likely effects on European protected sites in and around the National Park.
