Set in the context of this global crisis, Islington’s new Biodiversity Action Plan outlines how we in Islington will contribute to the national and world-wide eort to protect biodiversity for future generations. There is lots that we can achieve at a local level to safeguard our existing wildlife and to make the places where we live greener, cleaner and healthier. At a time when concerns about climate change are growing stronger, we need to remember the important role that biodiversity plays in climate control. Environmental sustainability is fundamental to our work as a council, and the importance of protecting wildlife is a key part of that message. Islington is one of the most densely Councillor Rowena Champion populated London boroughs, and yet it Executive Member for supports an amazing range of wildlife. From Environment and Transport house sparrows to rare orchids, there is a surprising diversity of animals and plants on our doorsteps.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.
