To formally adopt the Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site Management Plan on behalf of Wiltshire Council.
Wiltshire Council is one of three organisations which make up the World Heritage Site Partnership Panel. Each of these three agencies, plus the separate local committees for Stonehenge and Avebury has undertaken processes to engage the relevant stakeholders and consult widely with partners and the public in the production of the Management Plan. The Management Plan, developed over two years, was produced in April 2015 and formally launched on the 17th May 2015.
This report outlines the procedure which produced the plan and states the intention for Wiltshire Council to formally adopt that plan under the delegated decision making authority of the Cabinet Member for Arts and Culture.
