Meanings
-
A concept in the management of protected landscapes in the United Kingdom, where the need for conservation is balanced with offering access to the public.
It may become necessary to restrict traffic, since it is law under the Sandford principle that where there is apparent conflict between a national park's dual functions of conservation and promoting public enjoyment, then greater weight must be given to conservation.
