Environment Secretary, Steve Reed commented: \u201cNature and the economy have both been in decline for too long. That changes today.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs part of the Plan for Change, I am rewiring Defra and its arms-length bodies to boost economic growth and unleash an era of building while also supporting nature to recover.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThis review clearly shows that simply scrapping regulations isn\u2019t the answer \u2013 instead, we need modern, streamlined regulation that is easier for everyone to use.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The review recommends that the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) review the entire approach to enforcement and sanctions for environmental regulation to bring as much consistency as possible in the approaches taken for different offences.<\/p>\n
In the waste sector, the review says Defra should consider allowing regulators to issue speedy fines for minor offences without going through the Court system. It also recommends considering tougher penalties for deliberate non-compliance and persistent offenders.<\/p>\n
Dan Corry, an economist and former charity leader who led the review, commented: \u201cOur current system for environmental regulation lets down both nature and growth; we must focus on good outcomes and nature enhancement, not on rigidly preserving everything at any cost.<\/p>\n
