NEW EDITION DUE OCTOBER 2025

The Environment Act 2021 was a landmark piece of legislation creating a new governance framework regulating how the nation manages biodiversity, water resources and air pollution to name just a few, and introducing conservation covenant agreements as an option for developers. Since it came into force, there have been many changes to the biodiversity metrics and, this year, new planning policy initiatives under the Labour government.

  • the impact of changing national planning policies

Written by Tom Graham, a practising lawyer with many years of experience in environment and planning law, it brings answers to all the questions that planners and advisors need to consider when assessing the environmental implications of new developments.
