Monitoring & Measuring

The objectives within this plan have been assigned with a timescale reference: short, medium, long term. Objectives can be achieved through various means such as but not limited to, projects, collaborative working groups, communications and engagement. These will be reviewed and monitored during Partnership Meetings throughout the year.

The Key Performance Indicator (KPI) data in the table below will be collected and reported annually to the Partnership via the annual report. This information will be reviewed each year and aid in understanding the performance of the AONB.

The Cornwall State of the AONB report is a long-term monitoring programme of landscape condition (established in 2007), analysing specific indicators that demonstrate the condition of the AONB. These indicators are structured under themes which align with the aims of the AONB Management Plan.

Its third phase (2021) is complete and has informed the production of this management plan (referenced throughout). The next monitoring phase will be initiated in another 5 years to coincide with the next management plan review.
