 SOLAR ENERGY - THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL
The ongoing climate crisis is making us all alive to the need to reduce carbon emissions. There are many exciting emerging technologies: some are rather technical, and others a bit more well established and widely used. Solar energy is the second - and what could be more delightful than sunshine?

HABITAT REGULATION UPDATE
Late last month the government re-affirmed protection of sites covered under the Habitats Regulations - these are the European-wide sites, SPAs and SACs. There is no suggestion of any relaxation in protection nor regulatory procedures, and it is unlikely that any challenge to SPA status or consideration is likely to be successful as a result.
The need for Stage 1 & 2 Assessments remain. If you have a scheme that may impact a SAC, or SPA designation, please contact us for assistance.
