CYMRU FYW: A LIVING WALES
A NEW FRAMEWORK FOR OUR
ENVIRONMENT,OUR
COUNTRYSIDE AND OUR SEAS
CONTEXT
• Our system for planning and managing land use has its
roots in the post War settlement in the 1940`s
• It introduced separate systems for land management
(Agriculture Act 1947), land use planning (Town and
Country Planning Act 1947) and conservation (National
Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949)
• The NPAC 1949 introduced separate systems for the
management of nature conservation and countryside
(including landscape)
• Marine not mentioned
NATURAL ENVIRONMENT FRAMEWORK
• Sets out the case for a new framework to ensure
• Integrated planning and management of the environment
• Integration of environmental objectives with economic and
social well being
What will change?
•
•
•
•
Management of whole system
Integrated management of the environment
Clear set of national priorities
Local priorities in a sustainable development
framework
• Refocus on positive action rather than reactive action
• Fully reflect true long term value of ecosystems and
their services in decision making (IUCN ecosystems
approach)
Five workstreams to develop the
framework:
• Building the evidence base
• Valuing ecosystems
• Refreshing Regulatory and Management
Approaches
• Refreshing Partnership Mechanisms
• Refreshing Institutional Arrangements
