Illustration for Natural Environment Bill

The proposed law says some parts of the Planning Act 2025 will apply to how long a natural resource permit lasts. You need to look at sections 164, 165, and 166 of the Planning Act 2025 to understand this. These sections are about what happens when you apply for a new permit, when a permit expires, and when a permit is cancelled.
