Illustration for Natural Environment Bill

A new law is being proposed that says a natural environment plan must have certain things in it. You will find objectives, rules, and policies in this plan. It must also have a relief framework if section 111 says it is needed. A natural environment plan can also include methods if desired. A natural environment plan can use information from other places, as long as it is done in the correct way. If a rule in the plan disagrees with a regulation under this Act, the regulation is more important. This means the regulation will be followed, not the rule in the plan.
