Biodiversity & the New Government:
Understand Future Policy, Developing an Effective Planning System
Westminster-Briefing.com
London | Tuesday 1st December | 11am – 3.30pm
The Conservative manifesto, which is to be implemented in full, pledged to develop a 25-year plan to restore the UK’s biodiversity.
Local authorities have a duty to protect biodiversity. How will future Government policy support the planning system? How can partners improve joint-working to enhance as well as protect biodiversity? What can be learnt from last year’s offsetting pilot schemes?
Key issues to be addressed include:
• Will the new Government implement previous arrangements and recommendations?
• Balancing development opportunities against protection of fragile ecosystems and access to natural environment
• From the pre-planning consultation to monitoring offsets: learning from practical examples and experiences
About the day
This conference will bring together a panel of experts to explore these issues and provide an up-to-date brief on measures to conserve biodiversity, as well as the latest good practice examples in managing biodiversity locally.
The event will take place in Central London (Zone 1), with final details confirmed by email nearer to the date.
This Westminster Briefing event is CPD certified and a certificate is available to confirm your attendance.
