Action Plans

An Action Plan is a working document that is used by local organisations and Local Biodiversity Action Plan Partners. Action plans set out the measures needed for the protection of habitat, species or areas in the North East area. A local action plan is designed to protect and enhance local and national priority habitats, species and areas. It is a detailed three year plan specifying the actions required to meet proposed objectives and targets. Action plans are accessible to a wide range of people, from those in lead organisations, such as Councils, conservation organisations and individuals with an interest in the environment.

Action plans are written by volunteers with a particular research interest or knowledge of a particular species, habitat or area. Once a first draft of the action plan has been compiled a consultation process takes place by a working group of stakeholders in the plan. The plan is subsequently published, implemented and periodically reviewed.
