A PLAN to further enhance the beauty of the Cotswolds over the next five years has been unveiled by the Cotswolds Conservation Board (CCB).
The CCB aims to increase peoples' enjoyment of the district by improving a wide range of issues around the Area of Outstanding Beauty (AONB), from development and transport to rural land management, biodiversity and the historic environment.
Key issues influencing the whole plan are a strong emphasis on climate change and pressures from development, changing lifestyles of Cotswolds residents and transportation around the district.
Niel Curwen, chairman of the CCB, said: "The new plan not only sets out our policies, aims and objectives for the next five years but also provides a vision for the future of the AONB over the next 25 years.
This is not just a plan prepared by the board for itself, it is a plan for all those who value the area and have an interest in it. It will only succeed in shaping a positive future for the Cotswolds AONB if people with varied interests work closely together to achieve results."
The plan will be used as a guide for local authorities, organisations and businesses working within the district.
