Strategy Development
This is our plan
The Government has provided useful information on local nature recovery strategies and local nature recovery strategy statutory guidance. This is being used to guide how the LNRS for Derbyshire is developed.
A report approved by Derbyshire County Council’s Cabinet in January 2024 explains how we will develop our LNRS.
To launch the development of the LNRS a conference was held at County Hall in Matlock on 29 January 2024. Around 120 delegates representing a wide range of organisations and sectors came together to discuss what the strategy needs to address and how we work together to achieve it.
The conference included presentations from organisations including Derbyshire Wildlife Trust, Natural England, the National Farmers Union (NFU) and students from the University of Derby.
Ideas and comments shared as part of the conference are being used to develop the draft strategy and is helping to inform discussions and gain feedback from key groups over the coming months.
Our Delivery Plan page provides more information on how the LNRS is being developed.
Get involved
If you’d like to be involved or want to find out more about the Local Nature Recovery Strategy for Derbyshire, get in contact with us.
Our aim is to publish the strategy by Summer 2025 and we are working to develop its content. We ran a series of stakeholder engagement events over Summer and early Autumn 2024 to gather views and knowledge from as many people as possible. We will undertake a period of public consultation on the draft strategy in early 2025.
The draft LNRS for Derbyshire will be added to the website prior to the public consultation period.
The final LNRS will be available on the website following its approval in Summer 2025.
