Biodiversity Report

The Environment Act 2021 requires local authorities to publish a biodiversity report, which sets out how the authority has actively conserved and enhanced biodiversity in the Borough.

The report covers biodiversity highlights and policies in the Borough, as well as providing a quantitative assessment of Biodiversity Net Gain achieved through planning applications.

Going forward, the Biodiversity Report must be published every five years. It is anticipated that the next report will be published in March 2031.
