National parks of England and Wales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Despite the name, national parks in England and Wales are quite different from those in many other countries, where national parks are owned and managed by the government as a protected community resource, and permanent human communities are not a part of the landscape. The national parks of England and Wales are areas of relatively undeveloped and scenic landscape that are designated under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. The north Pennines were also considered for designation as a national park in the 1970s but the proposal was thought to be administratively too difficult because the area was administered by 5 different county councils. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/List_of_national_parks_of_England_and_Wales   (2463 words)

Snowdonia National Park In Eryri 69.9% of the land is in private ownership, 15.8% is owned by the Forestry Commission, 0.9% by water companies, 8.9 by the National Trust, 1.7% by the Countryside Council for Wales, 1.65 by other groups,and 1.25 by the Park authority itself. National Parks in Britain are 'national' in the sense that they are of a national value and importance, but they are not nationally owned. Eryri National Park therefore attempts to reconcile landscape and nature conservation with recreational needs, tourism, and the local economy; whilst attempting to maintain traditional land uses and the cultural heritage of the area. www.geocities.com /RainForest/1098/Eryri.html   (556 words)

Exmoor National Park Authority The National Park Authority recognises the limitations of the study and accepts that it is not an in depth scientific study. The Authority has 26 members 19 of whom are local elected members nominated by local parish, district and county councils, and seven are appointed by the Secretary of State because of their special skills and knowledge to represent the national interest. In its description of Exmoor as a potential National Park, the Report of the National Park Committee in 1947 stated "The area is notable for its wildlife; red deer have roamed on Exmoor from time immemorial, and it is the setting for John Fortescue’s delightful ‘Story of a Red Deer’". www.huntinginquiry.gov.uk /evidence/exmoornatpark.htm   (7056 words)

"On Whose Authority? (PART 1 of 3)" -Mtn-Forum On-Line Library Document The functions exercisable by a planning authority under Part II (but only in respect of functions in relation to local plans) of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 (a) shall, in relation to the area of the National Park, transfer to and be exercisable by the Authority and not by any local authority. However, a majority from outside the park made calls for the National Park Authority to safeguard access for recreation, perhaps reflecting the nature of the way in which the mountains are used for recreational purposes. This point is particularly applicable to the case of the Cairngorms National Park, as the balance between nature conservation and the economic and social well-being of the communities is balanced by the Ministers. www.mtnforum.org /resources/library/nevig03a.htm   (9215 words)

South Downs National Park: Proposals for Local Authority Consultation (AP02/11) When deciding upon the number of seats per local authority to be shown in an establishment order he should discuss with local authorities ways of reducing their overall numbers, and also advise a national park authority to put in place efficient decision making structures in line with the modernising local government agenda. The Council for National Parks made the suggestion that wherever possible a national park authority should work with existing landowners to achieve national park purposes rather than acquiring land to achieve that end and they pointed out that this is consistent with the Edward's Committee, 1991, advice on land acquisition by national park authorities. There was some concern that national park interests might lose out in the event of disagreement between the authorities preparing joint structure plans, and in parallel with that view modest support for a national park authority to prepare a single structure plan of its own. www.countryside.gov.uk /WhoWeAreAndWhatWeDo/boardMeetings/annexes/CA_AP02_11.asp   (17045 words)
