West Sussex Environment Strategy
The West Sussex Environment Strategy was developed in
2008. It provided a framework for achieving a clean, healthy,
and biologically diverse environment for the county, which is
managed holistically and innovatively in the face of a wide range
of pressures, including the challenges presented by a changing
climate.
We have continued to develop this work over recent years, and as
part of this progress, the strategy will be revised during 2013/14
to reflect the current priorities and future direction required to
achieve a better environment in West Sussex.
