Thriving in Balance with Nature, the new five-year Plan for the Shropshire Hills National Landscape.
Public Consultation on the draft Plan is running until the end of July 2025.
The Plan aims to influence and guide landowners, organisations and individuals on a wide range of topics by setting out how to best manage the Shropshire Hills landscape. It includes policies to influence decisions which affect the area, and identifies desired actions for partners to deliver.
Making this Plan happen is a shared responsibility in which organisations, land managers, businesses, communities and individuals can all play their part in looking after this special landscape.
