About
Natural England is the Government’s adviser for the natural environment and the Nature regulator with a wide range of statutory duties and powers. They provide the evidence, expertise and advice to recover Nature and shape better places for people to live. They do this working through and with others.
Priorities:
- Drive Nature recovery at a greater scale and faster pace than before by supporting large scale projects and making it easier for landowners to get permissions for Nature positive change.
- Tackle the root causes of Nature’s decline working with Defra partners to ensure cleaner air, clean and plentiful water, healthier soils and rich, productive seas.
- Partner with planners and developers on “high nature; low carbon” houses, energy and transport infrastructure and introduce strategic solutions so development can also protect and restore Nature.
- Support food security and sustainable farming, forestry and fishing through targeted advice and the right mix of public and private finance.
- Shape better places for people to work and live by providing clear evidence and advice to our partners, using spatial plans for Nature as a framework for investment and joined up action.
- Connect communities with Nature and create Nature close to people’s homes, ensuring everyone gains from the health benefits Nature can bring.
