Representation ID: 5086
Received: 03/01/2024
Respondent: Natural England
Representation Summary:
In the list of bullet points we would like to see stronger reference to the Nature Recovery Network which is one of the specific aims of the Environment Act 2021 and will underpin the approach to the enhancement of nature. We suggest the wording could include the following addition:
“protection and preservation of heritage assets and natural environment including the enhancement and recovery of biodiversity contributing to the nature recovery network.”
We also suggest an additional bullet point including the provision of green Infrastructure:
“Provision of high quality accessible green infrastructure for the benefit of people and nature.”
