Author: Environment Agency South West Region
Document Type: Monograph
Abstract:
The environment is subject to a wide variety of uses which invariably interact with and sometimes conflict with each other. The process of environment planning has been developed to help manage these interactions and conflicts for the overall benefit of the environment and its users. The Environment Planning process within the Environment Agency includes the production of two documents; a Consultation Report and an Action Plan. The Consultation Report describes our vision for each catchment, identifies problems and acts as a focus for consultation between the Environment Agency and other interested parties. Following consultation, the Action Plan identifies actions to resolve the problems and issues. The Plans are part of an ongoing dialogue between ourselves and the various organisations and individuals involved in the protection and management of the environment, they also provide background data for Agency responses to development plans and highlight our concerns about development. This Action Plan follows the production of the Rivers Axe and Lim Catchment Management Plan Consultation Report (Ref. 2) and the consultation period. The Action Plan will form the basis for improvements to the environment, chiefly the water environment, and primarily covers the five year period from 1997 to April 2001. Achievement of the Action Plan will be monitored and reported annually. Future annual reviews may also include new issues, covering all the responsibilities of the Agency.
