“Draft Exe Estuary Management Plan 2016-2021

The draft Management Plan covering 2016-2021 for the Exe Estuary is now available through the link above for public consultation, for a six week period from 19th September to 30th October 2016. The plan has been reviewed since the Interim Management Plan 2012-2015, to take into consideration issues and changes that are highlighted in the updated State of the Exe Estuary 2014 report, and outlines policies, and five year objectives to ensure sustainable use of the Exe Estuary for the future.

A public consultation event will be held on Wenesday 5th October from 1pm to 8pm at County Hall, for those that would like to find out more about the Management Plan and offer their feedback. We will be able to offer guidance at the event on how you can best provide feedback during the consultation. In preparation, you may wish to consider these Guidance Questions.

The event will take place at the Council Chamber and Ante Chamber at County Hall, Topsham Road, Exeter, EX2 4QD. Travel information to the venue can be found here. I will be at the Council Chamber to enable access on the day.

If you are unable to make the workshop, please send your comments and observations via email to exeestua@devon.gov.uk. Please use the above Guidance Questions to help with your response, but we welcome comments on any aspects of the Management Plan. We strongly advise you to respond using ‘Track Changes’ within the document and state whether you are responding as an individual or on behalf of a group or organisation.

Your views are valuable to us and we appreciate your taking the time to read the document and make comments. We will endeavour to reply to everyone who takes part in the consultation (if we have contact details) and will consider all comments that are offered.”
