Consultation process
Consultation Process:
A formal governance structure and LNRS programme board were
established as part of the production of the LNRS, convened by
North Yorkshire Council as the Responsible Authority. As part of
this, there have also been Officer led task groups that have led on
technical input into the evidence base, content and format of the
LNRS.
An online survey was initially undertaken as part of the
development of the Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) for North
Yorkshire and York hosted on the North Yorkshire Council website.
This was held for 12 weeks, from 16 November 2023 to 12 February
2024.
Prior to public consultation on a draft consultation version of
LNRS, a statutory 28 days was provided to Supporting
Authorities?(including CYC)?and other advisory groups/bodies?for
detailed comments on the pre-public consultation draft. Officers
provided detailed comments and issued a formal Council
representation to NYC in June 2025 supporting the consultation on
the draft LNRS.
NYC held a statutory six week public consultation on the draft LNRS
between 30?June to 12?August 2025. As the Supporting Authority, CYC
provided support to the consultation by distributing documents
throughout the city in line with our Statement of Community
Involvement (SCI) and signposting online to North Yorkshire
Council’s consultation portal
