Integrated Land Management Plan (ILMP)

Stakeholder Aims and Objectives

Dartmoor National Park Authority

The DNP Management Plan May 2001 begins with a long term view of Dartmoor, looking beyond the five year time horizon, to a time several generations into the future. A wide consultation exercise in 1997, under the title ‘The Future of Dartmoor’, identified a significant level of popular support for the series of ‘vision statements’ which follow. The Plan offers a vision of the future that all can share and work together to strive towards.

The next DNP Management Plan is being consulted upon and is due for publication in 2007.

Stakeholder Objectives

The DNP Plan Vision objectives are:

  • The wildness of remote moorland remains undiminished, heather is recovering and past physical and ecological damage has been repaired
  • Farming remains the principal land use, and is always maintaining and enhancing the character and wildlife interest of the landscape
  • The moorland is free from live firing
  • Hardy, traditional ponies freely graze
  • All broadleaved woodland is being actively conserved and conifer plantations are better integrated into the landscape
  • The air, soils and rivers are unpolluted and diverse wildlife thrives
  • The archaeological and historic character of buildings, settlements and landscapes are being actively conserved and new development is designed in sympathy with the landscape, residents and visitors still find peace, solitude and enjoyment, in harmony with the landscape and with each other
  • The impact of the motor vehicle is reduced and attractive viable alternatives to car travel exist
  • Services, amenities, housing and employment opportunities are meeting the needs of a thriving local community
  • Everyone shares a deeper understanding and appreciation of National Park values and is working together to sustain and enhance Dartmoor’s distinctive high quality environment and cultural heritage
