Forum for the Future’s South West Land Use Initiative worked with a broad range of organisations and local stakeholders in the South West to develop an asset-based sustainability appraisal tool in order to find out why some area-based projects and initiatives are more successful than others at increasing local sustainability and quality of life. This is one of five case studies produced following the trial use of the tool on five very different kinds of area, working directly with local project partnerships and organisations.

The National Park Authority are using the results of the appraisal to develop and consult on the new 5 year National Park Management Plan. Other National Park Authorities are interested in using the appraisal tool to assess the impact of their Park Management Plan policies.
