Planning and Infrastructure BillContribution
As I emphasised in Committee, local nature recovery strategies provide a tool for identifying and enhancing chalk stream habitats. These strategies map priority areas for nature and are informed by key environmental data, such as the assessments carried out under river basin management plans. Under Section 12D(11) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, spatial development strategies must already take account of relevant local nature recovery strategies.
