We note the proposals for the development of a Local Nature Recovery Network and Biodiversity Net Gain within this policy. The draft plan also includes a Black Country Nature Recovery Opportunities Map, which shows many of the area's canals within a 'Priority Network Restoration Zone'. We look forward to working with the Black Country Authorities to refine these initiatives and shape policy as the national framework for Nature Recovery and Biodiversity Net Gain takes shape.
