   Defra Local Nature Recovery Strategy Consultation    25 September, 2021

Visit https://consult.defra.gov.uk/land-use/local-nature-recovery-strategies/ to respond to the Defra Consultation on Local Nature Recovery Strategy, which has a deadline of 2 November 2021 for responses

 

"Local Nature Recovery Strategies are a new, England-wide system of spatial strategies that will establish priorities and map proposals for specific actions to drive nature’s recovery and provide wider environmental benefits. The requirement for there to be Local Nature Recovery Strategies, what they are and how they should generally work will be established by the Environment Bill once it completes its current passage through Parliament.

The area covered by each Local Nature Recovery Strategy will be set by the Defra Secretary of State, who will also appoint a “responsible authority” for each to lead its preparation. The Defra Secretary of State will also be able to produce regulations on the process for preparing, publishing, reviewing and republication of a Local Nature Recovery Strategy and guidance on what each Strategy should contain. Put simply, the regulations will set the requirements that all “responsible authorities” must follow when preparing and updating their Strategy and the guidance will describe in greater detail what they should be seeking to produce.

The purpose of this consultation is to gather views on key questions that will help Government produce both the regulations and the guidance swiftly after the Environment Bill becomes law."
