BPA response to the Draft Marine Bill consultation
The Association has submitted its response to Defra’s consultation on the Draft Marine Bill. In summary the response highlighted that:
- We continue to support the main proposals and basic principles of the draft Bill
- Although the Bill is strong on process, many questions remain about implementation, the precise effect on the planning system and the level of resources available
- The draft Bill’s principles should be adopted throughout the UK, respecting national differences and varying pressures
