Have your say on our Historic Environment Strategy

The historic environment is fundamental to the distinctive character, sense of place and natural beauty of Cannock Chase. As a National Landscape Partnership, we recognise that it is one of our most precious assets: shaping our cultural identity, contributing to our quality of life, and supporting the local economy.

‘Chase Past, Present and Future’ has been prepared to complement and elaborate the over-arching policies set out in our latest statutory AONB Management Plan 2025-2030. Building on the seminal ‘Chase Through Time’ project and subsequent studies carried out over the last decade, this strategy sets out a framework for UNDERSTANDING, ENJOYING and CARING for the historic environment of Cannock Chase. It includes an ambitious portfolio of projects which we will take forward with our partners and the communities to deliver tangible and lasting
benefits for the historic environment and local people.

In these challenging times, we will have to be resourceful and collaborative in pursuit of new funding and opportunities to ensure that the historic environment is protected for the future.
