People across Pembrokeshire are being given a chance to have their say about the future of their National Park.

The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority wants to hear people's views on three consultation documents, which will be used to develop plans that help shape the future of the Park.

A draft Management Plan proposes management policy to help the authority to safeguard the special qualities of the Park for everyone's enjoyment.

A draft Preferred Strategy sets out initial proposals for development planning policy in the National Park area. Following consultation and amendments, the proposals will shape the forthcoming Local Development Plan for the National Park area. Finally, a draft Sustainability Appraisal assesses the environmental and social impacts of the two plans above.

National Park Authority chairman Simon Hancock said: "These plans will have a critical influence on the National Park in the coming years. They will affect key issues in our Park communities, including housing, access to the Park's special places and how we can protect our landscape and wildlife from the potential impacts of climate change.

"So we see it as really important that as many people as possible have their say on the content of these plans. We know from previous consultations that people in Pembrokeshire highly value their Park and we hope they will take this opportunity to help shape its future."

There is a separate comments form for each of the three documents, which should be used to submit responses. Summaries of each document are available.

All the documents are available on the authority's website, http://www.pcnpa.org.uk">www.pcnpa.org.uk. Click on What We Do on the homepage, then Shaping the Future.
