Dear Sir or Madam,
<<http://www.defra.gov.uk/wildlife-country...>>
I note that there are currently 2 Conservation Boards listed - Chilterns and Cotswolds AONB Conservation Board.
Please could you provide any information you hold relating to the following:
1) Have there been any other Conservation Boards recently formed?
2) Are there plans for other Conservation Boards to be formed?
Yours faithfully,
Alex Skene

Dear Mr Skene
Thank you for your email of 7 July about AONB Conservation Boards.
There have been no recent Conservation Boards formed. The Cotswolds and Chilterns Conservation Boards are the only two.
In regard to your second query enquiring if there are any plans for other Conservation Boards to be formed, it is for the constituent local authorities which manage an AONB to decide whether to establish a Conservation Board, which can be largely tailored to meet the particular circumstances of each AONB. The authorities must request the Secretary of State for Defra to establish a Board and Defra will provide full support in the process. However, the majority, and preferably all, the AONB constituent authorities should be in favour of a Board, otherwise the establishment process might prove fruitless.
The Secretary of State for Defra has received no such requests since the establishment of the Cotswolds and Chilterns Conservation Boards.
Yours sincerely
