The Department for Levelling Up, Housing, Communities and Local Government’s role in policy on access to nature and open and green spaces spans planning policy, levelling up funding and communities policy. Staff in the department often work across a range of policy areas which may include work on access to nature and therefore it is not possible to specify exact numbers.
The Department publishes an organogram showing all staff roles at the following link.
