Habitats Directive Review of Consents

We are reviewing all permissions that we granted before the Habitats Regulations came into force. We call this the Review of Consents.

We have prioritised EU sites for review on the basis of potential risk by Environment Agency regulated activities. We aim to complete the review of all sites by March 2010.

We are informing our customers where we know environmental damage is occurring or likely to occur, and where licences and permits may need to be amended.
