5.            North Yorkshire & York, Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) consultation draft

 

 

Resolved:

 

That the Executive Member:

 

i.             Noted the work that had been undertaken in relation to the North Yorkshire and York Local Nature Recovery Strategy.

ii.            Agreed to delegate authority to the Head of Strategic Planning Policy to:

 

a.        Provide written consent to a public consultation on the draft North Yorkshire and York Local Nature Recovery Strategy.

b.        Confirm to North Yorkshire Council the Council’s position. This would occur before the expiry of a 28-day statutory consultation period.

 

Reason: To clarify the Council’s position to North Yorkshire Council, in respect to the Council’s duties and powers as set out by LNRS Regulations 2023. The current position is that council officers have worked closely with North Yorkshire Council on the emerging draft Strategy and give support to the overall format of the Strategy and process of its development and so have no objections to a public consultation. However, officers have not seen complete draft strategy documentation before the publication of this report, so require complete documentation and further time to confirm this position.

 

iii.          To delegate authority to the Head of Strategic Planning Policy to make any comments on behalf of the Council in response to the draft North Yorkshire and York Local Nature Recovery Strategy.

 

Reasons: For the efficient delivery of the Strategy.
