Managing the World Heritage Site

The World Heritage Site Management Structure

The ongoing co-ordinated management of the World Heritage Site is a process reliant on the successful collaboration of a range of stake-holding partners.

The World Heritage Site includes three local authority administrative areas - Cornwall Council, West Devon Borough Council and Devon County Council - and is governed by a Partnership Board, comprising local authority elected members, officers, and others. The management agreement adopted by the governing members of the World Heritage Site Partnership Board can be seen here.

Further information on the Partnership Board and the World Heritage Site management structure and operations are set out within the World Heritage Site Management Plan 2020-2025, please see the links below.

World Heritage Site Research

Research is also undertaken in support of the management aims and objectives of the World Heritage Site and some of the most recent, including the Ecological Audit, can be viewed via the links below.
