In reply to toad:
As a sweeping summary, the current Management Plan for Stanage expired back in March 2017 and currently there is no clear picture of what the PDNPA's vision is for it going forwards. Louise Hawson goes into a lot more detail on this within the September Newsletter, but the initial impression is that their broad strategy is exactly that - broad (!!); hence lacking in depth on the finer details (i.e. how it's actually going to be implemented).
Henry makes further comment within the September Newsletter, that when the PDNPA presented their plan to the Peak Park Parishes Forum the impression from their perspective was that "the Forum is again disappointed that yet another consultation document is presented in a far from friendly form. It is full of “management speak”’, and the Forum is identifying too many occasions when the Authority says one thing and does another’.
I think the points above touch on what I believe are the two key issues: the first being the lack of clarity of their plan and the second being the lack of communication and engagement with relevant user groups on what is within the plan.
There's a lot more information within the last two BMC Peak Area Newsletters, which are well worth reading - here's a link to each of them:
