A draft plan aimed at how the Dorset National Landscape area (formerly known as the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) is protected has been developed by Dorset Council and its partners. The plans are for the Dorset National Landscape Partnership and team, individual partner organisations, farmers and landowners, communities and businesses. The purpose is to set out how they can all contribute towards the conservation and enhancement of natural beauty in the area. It is one of 46 protected landscapes across the UK and the council and its partners have a statutory responsibility for reviewing and developing a five-year management plan for the landscape. A spokesperson for Dorset Council said: "Whether you live here, work here, or simply love visiting, your voice matters.
