Water Delivery Plan Consultant

Tender description

Water Delivery Plan Lot 1: 1. It is a plan for the National Park as a place – so will need actions that cover the whole place for a range of partners, not just the National Park Authority 2. We are looking holistically at a resilient water environment, for biodiversity as well as considering other key factors such as climate change adaptation and flood risk and not focusing very narrowly just on water quality 3. We are therefore looking to consider a range of condition ratings and measurements to guide and prioritise practical delivery for nature restoration and climate change adaptation that reflect opportunities and realities across the Park for species and a range of habitats, including tributary streams, bogs, fens, marshes, springs, ditches, ponds, wet meadows etc. Whilst the River basin management Plan addresses these concepts, it gives little steer on the full range of practical actions that could or should be delivered in the context of this National Park. 4. To enable delivery partners to achieve meaningful nature restoration, the delivery plan needs to provide: - clear priority projects on the ground - monitoring and reporting progress - phasing plans for 1 and 5 years - forward looking actions to 2045 long-term vision.
