Draft Biodiversity Strategy: Consultation
From: Cabinet - Thursday, 27th November, 2025 7.00 pm - November 27, 2025
This report presents the proposed Thanet Biodiversity Strategy, which sets out a vision “to protect, enhance, and restore Thanet’s biodiversity through responsible development, habitat conservation, and community engagement”. The Strategy covers all major habitats in the district – woodlands, coasts, wetlands, farmland, and urban greenspaces – and establishes five thematic priorities (Renewed Woodlands, Dynamic Marinescapes, Robust Wetlands, Biodiverse Agriculture, and Urban Connection) to guide local nature recovery. It outlines clear objectives (e.g. enforcing Biodiversity Net Gain in development, creating habitat banks, sustainable land management, improving habitat connectivity, and engaging communities) to deliver measurable biodiversity improvements across Thanet. The Strategy is intended as a framework for Thanet District Council (TDC) to integrate nature recovery into planning, land management, and community initiatives, in line with county and national-level targets.
