Biodiversity Reporting

As a local planning authority, the Council must publish a biodiversity report to outline its policies and the actions it carried out to comply with its biodiversity duty.

This biodiversity duty consists in:

  • considering what the Council can do to conserve and enhance biodievristy
  • agree policies and specific objectives based on this consideration
  • act to deliver the policies and to achieve objectives.

More information can be viewed on the Biodiversity section of the website.
