What is the Business and Communications Plan?

The Business Plan, Communications Plan and associated Delivery Matrix are concerned with delivery of biodiversity projects and activities. The plans were initially for the period March 2006 - March 2008 but since March 2008 the plan has been reviewed and new priority actions have been defined for March 2008 - March 2011. This plan is concerned with new, significant biodiversity activity rather than current ongoing or historical biodiversity projects.

The purpose of the Business and Communications Plan is:

  • To set out the local framework for biodiversity delivery.

  • To set out priorities for delivery within a 3 year rolling programme.

  • To build on the extensive work undertaken through the creation of Local Biodiversity Action Plans, and to accelerate delivery of the most vital projects.

  • To create a plan which is focussed on delivering priorities and targets at a strategic level.

  • To enable the partnership to look ahead, allocate resources, focus on priorities and be ready to act on both problems and opportunities.

  • The plans will be a tool for potential investors, managers and stakeholders.

  • To create work programme for the partnership that is manageable and streamlined and which is realistic, measurable and complete.
