This report looks at the five key outcomes described in the Biodiversity Plan, and presents our key actions and achievements, for the 2018-19 financial year, under each outcome heading.

The annual report on Highways England’s performance and achievements in the operation, maintenance and improvement of England’s motorway and trunk road network is available on the Highways England website.

The Strategic Design Panel was set up to challenge and support Highways England to make a step change in the design quality of England’s Strategic Road Network. This coincides with the delivery of the biggest programme of Government investment in a generation

To support our vision for the network, we have established a set of principles for good road design which follow the themes of people, places and processes. These will encourage better design and provide the basis for road schemes to be objectively reviewed.

The panel was set up to support the development of a culture where good design is at the heart of everything within Highways England and the wider road sector. This coincides with Highways England delivering the biggest programme of Government investment in a generation.

The biodiversity plan identifies Highways England's approach to meeting the challenge of the national decline in biodiversity.
