Local Nature Recovery Strategy

Progress updates

As of 12 June the public consultation for Norfolk's Local Nature Recovery Strategy has closed.
The public consultation ran for 8 weeks and Respondents were asked to feedback on the Statement of Biodiversity Priorities and Habitat Map, as well as the existing nature in Norfolk, opportunities we've identified for nature's recovery, case studies demonstrating the success of nature recovery work and our methodologies for creating the LNRS.
You are still able to view the draft strategy document that was consulted on as well as the Local Habitat Map but no further comments can be left.
Over 280 people took part in the consultation and we received over 350 comments directly on the Local Habitat Map. We are reviewing all the feedback and will incorporate it into the final draft of the LNRS as appropriate.
As per the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) guidelines, we will publish the feedback and our responses in due course.
After we incorporate the results of the consultation, the LNRS will be sent to Norfolk County Council to review and approve.
The updated LNRS will then be sent to our Supporting Authorities for another consultation period. This lasts 28 days.
We expect to publish Norfolk's Local Nature Recovery in Autumn.
