Seeking views on amending the exemptions and exclusions for flood risk activities in the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016.

This consultation was held on another website.

This consultation ran from
9am on 11 April 2018 to 11:45pm on 20 June 2018

Consultation description

We want to know what you think about our plans to amend the exemptions and exclusions for flood risk activities in the environmental permitting regulations.

Environmental permitting makes sure that any work completed does not increase flood risk, damage flood defences, or harm the environment, fisheries, or wildlife.

The majority of these adjustments will allow more flexibility for individuals and businesses.
