| The objectives for
Stage 1 of the project were to: |
 | Set
out a 50 Year vision for biodiversity for the West Midlands focussing on the development
of a landscape scale approach to restoring and enhancing biodiversity; |
 | Produce
an agreed biodiversity map for the West Midlands to form the basis of a submission
to the Phase 3 revision of the Regional Spatial strategy due to commence in Spring
2007; |
|
Identify and map the linkages and overlaps with the key area-based policy initiatives
of other sectors which are likely to have an impact on the delivery of landscape
scale biodiversity in the region; |
| Provide
advice for sub-regional local opportunity mapping and large-scale delivery projects; |
| Engage
in consultation with a range of audiences to ensure that the vision and map are
widely supported and bought into. |
