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.
