240913Paper2 NPPP Annual Update

This document contains the National Park Partnership Plan Annual Update, prepared by Gavin Miles, Director of Planning and Place. It summarizes the monitoring framework for the National Park Partnership Plan and pinpoints key areas where progress is being made, or where it's expected in the future after the second year of the plan. The document highlights progress in three main areas: Nature, People, and Place. For Nature, woodland creation and peatland restoration are exceeding targets, while the beaver reintroduction program has successfully started. For People, initiatives like the Green Health Referrals scheme and an increase in businesses paying the real living wage show positive development. Lastly, for Place, the National Short Term Let Licensing scheme has been fully implemented, affordable housing projects are underway, and the National Park received the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism. The document also discusses future steps, including continued monitoring and data collection to build a dashboard showcasing progress and supporting targeted promotion.
