question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what action they are taking to stop overcrowding as a result of tourism in National Parks in England.
tabling member printed	Lord Kennedy of Southwark
uin	HL1652
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2020 answer text <p>The ‘Sandford Principle’ was enshrined in the law through the Environment Act 1995. That principle requires the National Park Authorities to attach greater weight to their statutory purpose of conserving and enhancing natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage than their other statutory purpose of promoting opportunities for public enjoyment where there appears to be a conflict between the two. For example, should tourism or recreational activities potentially lead to overcrowding that could damage the conservation and enhancement of a National Park’s natural beauty, the National Park Authority should take steps to prioritise the latter. In most cases, it is possible to avoid potential conflicts through negotiation, planning and sensitive management strategies; the Government expects the National Park Authorities to take the lead in encouraging mediation, negotiation and cooperation.</p><p> </p><p>As part of our 25 Year Environment Plan, the Government commissioned an independent review of designated landscapes in England, led by Julian Glover. We welcome the independent review and are now considering its findings, including its proposal on sustainable tourism.</p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 26/02/2020 13:38:48 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble
