6. The challenge for us is to develop a comprehensive, realistic and challenging Regional Delivery Plan that: ‘identifies spatially, key priority landscapes for successful delivery of integrated habitat and species targets by 2015, with organisations accountable for this delivery.’ SW Regional Delivery Plan

7. Set a five year spatially prioritised work plan for the SW; Define national priorities within the region, and take account of LBAP priorities to promote more effective delivery; Key to its success will be open and transparent discussion across the whole partnership; We will need to develop a common understanding of our aims and objectives; The plan needs to reflect regional priority habitats and integrate species work; All regional, and local partners would need input into this piece of work and a ownership/stake in the outputs; Define collaborative working/accountability for delivery.
