Reporting on Enhanced Biodiversity Duty
All local authorities must publish a report on how they have complied with the biodiversity duty set out in the Environment Act 2021.
The biodiversity duty means that we must:
1. Consider what we can do to conserve and enhance biodiversity.
2. Agree policies and specific objectives based on our consideration.
3. Act to deliver our policies and achieve our objectives.
This report documents the policies and actions that the County Council have carried out between since recognition of the biodiversity duty in the Environment act 2021 to 31 December 2025 so we can have more nature which is bigger, better and joined up.
By law, our report must include:
a summary of the action you’ve taken to comply with the biodiversity duty
how you plan to comply with the biodiversity duty in the next reporting period
any other information you consider appropriate
Reports from local planning authorities must also include the following biodiversity net gain (BNG) information:
the actions you’ve carried out to meet BNG obligations
details of BNG resulting, or expected to result, from biodiversity gain plans you’ve approved
how you plan to meet BNG obligations in the next reporting period
More information on biodiversity duty and our reporting obligations can be found here:
This document will be a static reflection of how we are working to meet our Biodiversity Duty.
