Sustainable Development Programme Clause Samples

Sustainable Development Programme. The Sustainable Development (SD) Programme covers extensive work involving statutory and non-statutory land use planning activity (including Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG), green infrastructure and wider environmental net gains) and all of our wildlife licensing activity. It also includes our work on marine planning, marine net gain, a coherent Marine Protected Areas Network and an ecosystem approach to the management of the marine environment. This is a fundamentally critical and statutory area of Natural England business helping to shape gains for places, habitats and species. We strive to continue to work towards a more proactive and strategic approach to planning and licensing work; we believe partnership working and early engagement in strategic plans ad projects is the best way to deliver more for the natural environment in the long term. Our resources are used to best effect to support operational delivery locally and in central teams, both directly, through additional staff, and indirectly, by putting in place a range of reforms to help target our resources on the interventions that hold the greatest gains. We are keen to ensure the direction of travel for the SD Programme is informed by the reality of our grass roots challenges and opportunities.

  • Sustainable Development 4.1 The Authority will review the Contractor’s Sustainable Development Policy Statement and Sustainable Development Plan submitted by the Contractor in accordance with the Schedule (Sustainable Development Requirements) and then at least annually thereafter. 4.2 Sustainable Procurement Risk Assessment Methodology (SPRAM) is a tool used by the Authority to identify and mitigate any potential risks to sustainability in contracts. The process requires that each Contract be assessed for its potential social, economic and environmental risks, throughout the various stages of its lifetime. Where risks are identified, appropriate mitigation action is required to reduce or eliminate the risk to sustainability. The Authority may at times require input from the Contractor in order to ensure that this process is given the required levels of consideration.
