Norton Common Greenspace Action Plan 2020 - 2025

The Countryside and Rights of Way Service at Hertfordshire County Council is working with North Hertfordshire District Council to produce a new Greenspace Action Plan (GAP) for Norton Common Local Nature Reserve. This plan will cover management of the site from 2020-25.

We welcome your input to help review the draft GAP (attached below), which includes annual management maps and a timetable of management actions. The management actions detailed will deliver objectives for biodiversity and heritage, access and interpretation, and community engagement.

We welcome your comments on the draft GAP. We will use the feedback to finalise the five year plan.

To comment on the draft GAP, please send responses to: gemma.worswick@hertfordshire.gov.uk or call 01992 555710.

Please return your comments by 21 February 2020.

We do not respond individually to comments received through public engagement. A summary of comments and a note of amendments made as a response to feedback will be published alongside the final plan.
