Targeted consultation with key stakeholders to review State of the Park data, identify issues and agree development of replacement Management Plan.
A Plan Shaped by Dialogue
The legal requirement to produce a Management Plan for the National Park lies with the officers of the National Park. The Plan is intended to mobilise a wealth of organisations and individuals beyond our staff body alone to deliver action. Extensive dialogue has been central to developing a collective vision for the future, in which we hope everyone can see their part.
5 ways of working
The Well-being of Future Generations Act sets out five ways of working which have guided the development of Y Bannau: The Future and will guide the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park Authority in catalysing the practical action needed to achieve the missions.
Developing the Plan
Future Bannau has been developed in dialogue with a wide range of stakeholders including Natural Resources Wales, unitary authorities, Public Service Boards, Community Councils, civil society organisations including farming and environment groups, citizens, businesses, academics, National Park Authority members, and officers.
The extensive consultation helped to deepen and refine analysis of the problems and solutions as the Plan developed. We are very grateful to everyone who took time to make such thoughtful contributions.
