Purpose:

Content: It was confirmed that Members had been invited to suggest any changes at this stage, and the draft strategy had been circulated to all ward members to enable input to the Council’s response, although no comments had been received. A 28-day pre-publication stage was expected, with timing dependent on Natural England’s timescales before the County Council’s formal adoption at the end of January. During that stage, the Local Nature Recovery Strategy would be reviewed by the Officer to ensure requested changes had been incorporated, with an opportunity for the Cotswold District Council to raise formal objections if any fundamental issues remained.
