BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN 2024/25
Under the 2021 Environment Act, and the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006, public authorities (including town and parish councils) who operate in England must consider what they can do to conserve and enhance biodiversity in England.
The council now needs to note what action in respect of biodiversity is already taking place locally and what further steps should be undertaken.
Such steps will include:
- Reviewing what biodiversity or nature recovery plans are already in place from other local authorities.
- Making contact with local voluntary groups working on nature conservation.
- Carrying out a biodiversity audit of council landholdings and/or the whole council area
- Gathering expert advice on possible actions in support of biodiversity.
- Drafting an action plan that covers actions that the council will take itself as well as support for the actions of other local bodies
The parish council have adopted the action plan below. This is a living document and will be updated regularly. If you have any suggestions as to actions that the Parish Council could undertake to enhance biodiversity in the Parish.
Please email the clerk with your suggestions
