Management Plan
The vision for the Isles of Scilly National Landscape is outlined in the Isles of Scilly Management Plan (2021-2025). The plan has been produced under the statutory requirement which falls on the Council of the Isles of Scilly, under Part IV of The Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000.

The Management Plan is produced under the direction of the Isles of Scilly National Landscape Partnership. It has been adopted by the Council, and approved by the Department for Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs on behalf of the UK Government.
Since the plan’s production, a Farming Position Statement has been produced and agreed by the partnership, to sit alongside the management plan, to support delivery of the plan, and to reflect the true importance of farmers, growers and land managers to the landscape.

Farming is fundamental to the sense of place, economy, culture and wildlife of the isles. The Statetement also makes it clear that the Isles of Scilly National Landscape Partnership can only achieve their objectives by working collaboratively and supportively with all on the islands, including farmers, growers and land managers.
The Isles of Scilly National Landscape Partnership is now preparing to review the Management Plan. It is expected that this will be a two year process. We will follow Natural England’s guidance on best practice for Natural Landscape management planning. This plan review will be a major undertaking for the partnership, and community engagement will be fundamental to our approach.
