Join us to discover how Cranborne Chase National Landscape works collaboratively to conserve and enhance this nationally significant landscape.
Cranborne Chase National Landscape works with planners, councils and the local communities on planning matters to achieve the national aim of conserving and enhancing this legally designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Planning decisions in the area are made by Local Planning Authorities who must consider the adopted National Landscape Management Plan as well as Local and National Government policies and guidance.
