Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions about Environmental Protection law in the UK, answered.
An environmental impact assessment (EIA) is a process of evaluating the likely environmental impacts of a proposed project or development, taking into account inter-related socio-economic, cultural and human-health impacts, both beneficial and adverse. In the UK, an EIA is required for a wide range of projects, including industrial facilities, infrastructure projects, and mining operations.
The main principles of waste management in the UK are the waste hierarchy, which prioritizes waste prevention, re-use, recycling, and recovery over disposal. The government is also promoting the concept of a circular economy, which aims to minimize waste and maximize the use of resources.
Non-compliance with environmental regulations in the UK can result in a wide range of legal consequences, including administrative fines, suspension or revocation of permits, and criminal liability. In addition, companies may be required to remediate environmental damage and compensate for any harm caused.
