In November 2023, national AONBs Partnerships, Teams, Advisory Groups and Open Forums were rebranded as National Landscapes.
Structure of Isle of Wight National Landscape Partnership:
Isle of Wight National Landscape Steering Committee
The Steering Committee act as a catalyst and facilitator in implementing AONB Management Plan policies and projects. They also manage and allocate resources and steer, develop and support initiatives to help enhance and conserve the AONB.
The main role of the National Landscape Steering Committee is:
- To plan and implement AONB management via the medium of the AONB Management Plan and primary purposes of AONB designation.
- To bring skills and expertise from their portfolio area to the Steering Committee.
The Steering Committee is appointed by a vote at the Isle of Wight National Landscape AGM. It is chaired by an independent individual appointed by the Steering Group after an internal recruitment process.
Isle of Wight National Landscape Advisory Group
The National Landscape Advisory Group membership represent the wider interest of stakeholders within the AONB and provides a way for partners to become involved in the future vision and management of this valued asset.
Its membership consists of representatives from organisations and stakeholders who have a direct interest in the management of the AONB. In accord with the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (as amended), which places a duty on public bodies to further the purposes of the designation to conserve and enhance AONBs, the Advisory Group membership includes a number of public bodies.
Isle of Wight National Landscape Open Forum
The Open Forum Group includes organisations and individuals with an interest in the management of our Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Through the IWNL website, social media and occasional workshops these members are kept up to date with the work of the National Landscape Team, Steering Committee and Working Groups to conserve and enhance the Island’s finest landscapes.
