Ambitious targets will be required to reach 30% of land dedicated to nature and in recovery by 2030, as stated in the Environment Act 2021. The wording used needs to be stronger and demonstrate more commitment.

I object to the dropping of the designation of Wildbelt. We urgently need to protect and rewild wildlife corridors, particularly strategic areas like river flood plains. Please refer to the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands.

No. The policy says ‘expected to support the principles’ and this wording isn’t strong enough. If the Councils intend to reach 30% of land dedicated to nature and in recovery by 2030, as stated in the Environment Act 2021, then more ambitious targets are needed.

WPDG recognises that LNRS are a key part of a suite of Environment Act 2021 measures created to help reverse nature’s ongoing decline. However, for a future policy on this topic to be effective it needs to provide the development industry / planning applicants with clarity
in terms of how BNG efforts can be aligned with LNRS; developers can then ensure that their biodiversity offsetting measures are strategically placed to maximize ecological benefits and support broader conservation goals.

We understand that the Warwickshire Local Nature Recovery Strategy (‘LNRS’) is in the early stages of consultation, and it is not yet clear what the draft LNRS will include. This work will need to be completed in order to inform the draft policy. If not, the feasibility and viability of ‘maintaining and enhancing local ecological networks through habitat creation, protection, enhancement, restoration and/or management’ as currently stated in the draft Policy Direction, should be considered to ensure that allocations coming forward in the plan are positively prepared and that allocated sites can deliver housing to meet South Warwickshire’s need. The policy should be worded with additional flexibility, such as adding ‘where possible and practicable’.

Yes, the Cotswolds National Landscape (CNL) Board agrees with the approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction 37.
This approach aligns with the approach that is advocated in Policy CE8 (Nature recovery and biodiversity) of the CNL Management Plan and in the Cotswolds Nature Recovery Plan.
Within the CNL, the focus should be on the priority habitats and species listed in Appendix 8 of the CNL Management Plan.

Need to ensure reference is made to the wider role of LNRS in providing a regional and national network of sites and linkages to protect and promote biodiversity.

The reference to the relationship between the LNRS and BNG needs to be explained a little further – while there are benefits in the form of multipliers for the co-location of BNG provision and LNRS, this will not always occur depending on whether BNG can be delivered on-site or what type of off-site BNG is required.

Local Nature Recovery Strategy – The National Trust are supportive of LNRS and consider that we have a role and responsibility to ensure that the habitats that we care for are in as good a condition as possible and enhanced where possible. We are supportive that the policy will seek for development proposals to support the principles of LNRS and demonstrate that a positive contribution will be made to the regional nature recovery network by maintaining and enhancing local ecological networks through habitat creation, protection, enhancement, restoration and/or management.

No. support the inclusion of such a policy however the policy says ‘expected to support the principles’ and this wording isn’t strong enough. If the Councils intends to reach 30% of land dedicated to nature and in recovery by 2030, as stated in the Environment Act 2021, then more ambitious targets are needed.
The Local Nature Recovery Strategy is at a too early stage to be solely relied upon. The Councils needs a robust evidence base early on to influence strategy decisions and allocations.
