Biodiversity Site Management Plans

Site Management Plans

Biodiversity management plans are produced to promote the management of Local Wildlife Sites for their nature conservation interest. The 10 plans reproduced here are kept as simple as possible with clear objectives that focus on the location and extent of species and habitats, which are major reasons why the sites were designated as of importance to nature conservation. Additionally, management plan objectives link firmly with delivery of local objectives for biodiversity specified in the Harrow Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) and/or other relevant BAPs. Each management plan includes targets for maintaining, restoring and enhancing the site.

The structure and length of each management plan varies according to the size of the site, complexity of the habitats and range of species presents.

However, all the management plans have the following in common:

Details of the site location and boundary - presented as a map with six figure grid reference.
A site description - which details of the habitats, species for which the site was selected, their location and details of the value and importance of features identified in a borough, regional or national context.
Well-defined management objectives - to maximise the conservation potential of a site and the features for which it was selected.

The plans provide the land manager with a clear and justified work programme for the site, including: practical tasks, a recommended timetable for delivery and advice on appropriate management techniques.
