The High Weald Management plan articulates a concise, internally consistent, and well-reasoned series of management objectives based on the components of character. These reflect and meet the need for a focused, positive, and comparatively simple objective-led approach both within the AONB partnership and amongst other stakeholders. This approach allows the management plan to be used by all stakeholders as an objective and non-political tool for assessing the AONB perspective on wider matters, such as large-scale development, and for major policy changes. Moreover, it allows partners and the wider community to generate original ideas and approaches in the knowledge that they are meeting the objectives of the AONB. The methods by which objectives can be met are provided by indicators of success and their related measurable targets.
