To consider endorsement of the New Forest Partnership Plan as a main partner organisation, as requested by the national park authority.

Resolved:

That the New Forest National Park Partnership Plan 2022-2027 (Annex to the report) be endorsed by the Council, as a main partner organisation of the National Park Authority. 

Consideration was given to a report of the Strategic Regeneration and Partnerships (South) Portfolio Holder which set out the New Forest National Park Partnership Plan 2022-2027 which had been produced jointly by a partnership group comprising statutory bodies which covered the national park, including Test Valley Borough Council, following public consultation.

The New Forest National Park Authority had a statutory duty to prepare a

partnership plan which was an overarching strategic document for the National Park and set the framework for more detailed plans and strategies prepared by the National Park Authority and partner organisations. The plan identified the priority actions for the next five years.

Having considered the options and for the reasons set out in the report, Cabinet agreed to the following:

Resolved:

That the New Forest National Park Partnership Plan 2022-2027 (Annex to the report) be endorsed by the Council, as a main partner organisation of the National Park Authority.
