CLA welcomes review of environmental regulation
A new review, commissioned by Defra Secretary of State Steve Reed and led by economist Dan Corry, has found the current system of environmental regulation is outdated, inconsistent, and highly complex.
The CLA (Country Land and Business Association) has welcomed a review of environmental regulation that reflects several of the CLA’s recommendations. The review concludes that a:- 'bonfire' of regulations is not the solution, but it makes 29 recommendations for streamlining regulation, which the Government says it is:- "actively considering." 9 measures with the greatest impact for growth and nature recovery will be fast tracked. The Government says work has already begun on:-
Country Land and Business Association (CLA) President Victoria Vyvyan said:- "The current system of environmental regulation is overly complex and hard to navigate, and needs to be streamlined to protect nature while allowing development to take place. While Dan Corry's review does not recommend a:- 'bonfire' of regulations, it does seek to modernise the system and help drive growth, which is welcome. The report reflects many of the CLA’s recommendations, such as action to unlock private sector funding, improving regulatory processes and guidance, and simplifying planning for nature-based solutions, but there is a lot of work to do in Defra before they are realised. Having a lead regulator for major infrastructure projects and establishing an Infrastructure Board might speed up approvals and unblock barriers to development at an early stage, but the system must work with affected farmers and landowners. Our members can help deliver housing and infrastructure projects while supporting nature recovery, but they must be part of the process."
