Read the draft LNRS Measures
At the heart of each LNRS are the collaboratively produced and locally agreed priorities for nature's recovery and the actions (called measures) that if implemented on the ground, can bring them about.
Last year, 23 habitat priorities for Sussex were prioritised from a long list that had been gathered following engagement with local people, organisations and groups.
To deliver these priorities, 107 measures have been developed and refined with the help of local nature and land management experts.
What's in the document:
Priorities: High level statements of what the LNRS should strive to achieve for nature recovery in Sussex within its timeframe.
‘What does success in 10 years look like’ statements: These provide detail of what delivery of the priority should look like within a 10 year timeframe to be considered successful. In most cases, this will require the implementation of both the core measures and enabling measures listed for each priority (see below).
Core habitat measures: Actions ‘on the ground’ that are required to deliver the priorities and outcomes identified for nature’s recovery in Sussex. These are the main focus of the LNRS as required by statutory guidance. Each measure is supported by notes on ‘How’ (the techniques that could be used to deliver each measure (which in many cases will vary depending on the specific characteristics of a site), and ‘Where’ – where they could be targeted to deliver greatest benefit. Links to further information/guidance and local case studies are also provided.
Enabling Measures: These are measures which are not habitat or species focussed and therefore cannot be addressed directly by Local Nature Recovery Strategies. They largely relate to supporting mechanisms, processes and functions that are considered critical to the delivery of core measures. While they cannot be picked up by LNRS, they are a focus of key local partnerships such as the Sussex Nature Partnership.
