Habitats and Birds updates for Brexit !
THREAD
The legislation transposing the EU Habitats Directive and the Wild Birds Directive has been changed so that they continue to operate effectively from 1st January 2021. 1/n
The changes have been made by the Conservation of Habitats and Species (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2019/579/contents/made. 2/n
The changes ensure the strict protections afforded to sites, habitats and species, including wild birds, continue. Further information about the changes introduced by the amending regulations will be available on http://gov.uk  from 1 January 2021. 3/n
Most of these changes involved transferring functions from the European Commission to the appropriate authorities in England and Wales. All other processes or terms in the 2017 Regulations remain unchanged and existing guidance is still relevant/ 4/n
