聽are a new England-wide system of spatial strategies established by the Environment Act 2021.聽
The main purposes of these strategies are to:
- Help reverse the ongoing decline of nature in England by establishing priorities for nature recovery.
- Identify locations to create or improve habitats that are most likely to provide the greatest benefit for nature and the wider environment.
- Inform the delivery of mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) and guide local planning policy for nature recovery.
Key elements of the strategy include:
- Biodiversity Priorities Statement: identifying priorities for nature's recovery.
- Local Habitat Map: mapping the most valuable existing areas for nature.
- Specific Proposals Map: highlighting habitat creation or wider environmental improvement goals.
Producing the Strategy
Committed to recovering nature in Nottinghamshire, our Local Nature Recovery Strategy will consist of an online document and map, which will inform and guide nature recovery across the county.
The proposed actions will help address the global biodiversity crisis and provide benefits for residents, as local green spaces are important for physical and mental health.
There are three key elements in developing the strategy:
- Research: Identifying local priorities, opportunities and challenges for nature recovery.
- Mapping: Creating聽.
- Engagement: Discussing nature recovery with key stakeholders and the wider public.
