Natural Norfolk are very pleased to share with you with the news that Norfolk’s LNRS has been finalised and published today, the 31st October 2025. The documentation, comprising the full strategy, alongside the Local Habitat Map is available at the following links:
Norfolk's Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) - Norfolk County Council
Norfolk and Suffolk Nature Recovery Partnership Publications
As you are aware, this is the cumulation of a number of years work from the Norfolk County Council team as Responsible Authority, working closely with Suffolk County Council and supported by the Norfolk and Suffolk Nature Recovery Partnership, alongside countless other stakeholders. We would like to thank everyone who has been involved, contributed and advised throughout this process.
The document and mapping tool can now be used and referenced as required, so please do share with your appropriate colleagues and contacts. In the next few weeks, there will be additional resources added to the websites, including the executive summaries and technical support document for the mapping, so please do look out for further updates.
We consider this significant milestone strengthens our position from which to lead, support and drive nature recovery action across the region.
As a brief overview, our role as Responsible Authorities for the next steps is starting to be defined and comprises of four main areas:
1) Lead and convene a delivery partnership
2) Embed LNRS into local decision making
3) Identify strategic projects and facilitate project development
4) Monitor and report on delivery of LNRS priorities
We look forward to working with you in the next stages and maintaining the momentum the development process has initiated, so please do look out for future communication from us.
Please feel free to contact the team on if you have any questions.
Apologies if you receive this communication more than once, we are, as we hope you understand, aiming to contact all of our stakeholders with this exciting news!
With kind regards
Jen Burlingham, Norfolk and Suffolk Nature Recovery Partnership Manager
and
The Norfolk LNRS Team
