Estate Management
The need to preserve and protect the natural environment at Kelling Heath Holiday Park dictates the requirement to have an active estate management plan. The majority of estate work conducted over the last 10 years has been determined by the management plan that existed for that period.

 The previous management plan expired in 2008, and while some annual estate management tasks remain the same, many prescriptions have achieved their desired outcomes and therefore new objectives are needed for the next 10 years. For this reason a new, up-to-date estate management plan has been created, which can act as a snapshot of the environmental situation at the Park as it stands during 2008.

The plan will provide detailed guidance into the estate management required on the park in order to ensure the environmental best practice that has existed for the last ten years is continued and enhanced wherever possible.

This estate management plan provides a current environmental snapshot of the park in the form of descriptions about the Park's location, current statutory designations, tenure issues, and the major environmental factors like climate and geology.

This core information about the environment of the Park then allows for a number of prescriptions to be created to ensure correct environmental practice across the estate.

The Park has been split into sections and sub-sections, with management prescriptions applied to each section, in order to create an easy to understand, usable document.
