The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs is implementing Local Nature Recovery Strategies to support environmental objectives and protect terrestrial and freshwater sites in England. The issue involves coordination between Natural England, local authorities, and planning systems, with significant concerns raised about resource constraints and the shortage of planning and ecological professionals. The issue is currently active with government responses to Office for Environmental Protection recommendations and pilot programmes for ecological resource hubs being developed.
