Essex County Council has undertaken a public
consultation on its Local Nature Recovery Strategy between 30th
August 2024 and 25th October 2024. Introduced in the Environment
Act 2021, the Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) is a statutory
requirement and will be the primary strategic plan for tackling the
ecological emergency and reversing biodiversity declines within an

Although TDC Officers have had an input into the formulation of the
Local Nature Recovery Strategy, Essex County Council are the
responsible authority and have progressed the LNRS to this stage in
accordance with the Environment Act. Officers from across TDC have
drafted a single coordinated response to the current consultation.
The Portfolio Holder with responsibility for Housing and Planning
has been briefed and consulted on this response.
