08/11/2024 - Publish the council’s “Biodiversity Report- First Considerations”
The council must publish a report that sets
out the considerations the Council must undertake to fulfil their
‘biodiversity duty’ as set out in the Environment Act
2021. The duty requires local authorities to consider what actions
can be taken for the protection and enhancement of biodiversity
within their boundaries. The duties identify a requirement for a
first report that sets out the Council’s first consideration
of what action to take for biodiversity to be published by 01
January 2024 and to “agree your policies and objectives as
soon as possible after this”.
