Sorry Darren, I guess you were right, I could have put my other post on here too. but you spotted it there too, case in question for Unincorporated associations and Judical reviews is: Aireborough Neighbourhood Development Forum v Leeds City Council & Ors [2020]
and it rules that an unincorporated association can serve for a judicial review in a public legal case. The BCA case is one in which an officer has been asked by the members to act on it's behalf, and the case is public in that it will affect people who go caving whether or not they are members of the British Caving Association.
Fail to see how an unincorporated association acting on behalf of its members and the interests of ALL people who want to go caving in the UK (and wales) can have their case being held as "unreasonable" (sorry Darren direct quote, not aimed at you, merely at the incredulous thought that a third party [BCA] could be held as being unreasonable in what is a legality between the Welsh Government and the people of the UK).
Sustainability.
A term which both NRW and the Welsh assembly use.
The welsh assembly defines it thus:
sustainability ? taking a sensible, long-term view about what the organisation is trying to achieve and what it is doing to get there.

Natural resources wales are defined by UK government as:
ensures the environment and natural resources of Wales are sustainably maintained and used, now and in the future.

In a 2007 Geodiversity document on the Clwydian range:
https://www.clwydianrangeanddeevalleyaonb.org.uk/files/1585454066-LGAP_Report_ENGLISH.pdf
The then project partners outlined how best to sustainably manage the Geodiversity of the Clwydian Range.
on page 31/32 there is a section summarising the document and in the Economic regeneration line it states:
Predominantly agricultural economy dependent on development of tourism; Small market towns on borders with small industry including ?new technology? many small rural craft industries that can be up-scaled & diversified; active existing programme of funding & regeneration; existence of rural development agency (Cadwyn Clwyd)
ensure a holistic view and prevention of repeated effort. Encouragement of geotourism with leisure industry e.g. hill walking mountain biking, climbing & caving.
This document was intended by those that wrote it to be a REBOOT of the appreciation of the Geological environment of the Clwydian range. but it seems that the Credit Crunch of the time got in the way of this aspirational target.
Since this document was drafted, I have not seen any field meetings encouraged by government organisations for cavers to visit and appreciate the rich geological wonders of North wales. Indeed it was this year that BCA held its annual caving conference nearby, but I didn't hear of anyone sneaking out of the lectures to go to any of the caves locally.
The CROW act 2000 coined the term AONB, in the UK Governments 25 year environmental plan (which was drafted in consultation with the national association of AONB's (NAAONB)), Page 19 of the 25 year plan goes on to speak about the Natural Capital of the environment, with Forests given as one of their only examples of Natural Capital.
It is precisely the job of Governments to be opening up untapped Natural capital and shouting about the good economic impact this is having on towns such as Wrexham, but alas, we are here in the mire and the welsh government is trying to increase barriers to people who want to use the landscape and spend our money in the local economies which have been bypassed by the A55 and the A483.
